Five years after a fake herbal mixture factory began operation at Adebola, Ibadan, Oyo State, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has uncovered the factory
The factory which produced a concoction meant for the treatment of malaria, body ache and hypertension, among others was on Friday sealed off.
PLATFORM TIMES gathered that the
herbal mix was being distributed across major cities in the country without formal approval from the regulatory agency.
The factory operator, in an interview with journalists, said he had been producing the concoction for over five years.
The Zonal Director of NAFDAC, Roseline Ajayi, expressed concern about the development.
Ajayi, who explained that the agency was alerted by some concerned Nigerians, added that the suspect had no pending application before NAFDAC.
She said, “the premises of the unauthorised factory has been sealed by NAFDAC officials, while the suspect has been handed over to the police for prosecution.”
