After finding expired food and drink items valued at over 100 million naira, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) closed 18 warehouses in Bida, Niger State.
The warehouses were closed during a search by the Agency’s Investigation and Enforcement team, acting on reliable intelligence, according to a statement issued by Sayo Akintola, the Resident Media Consultant of NAFDAC.
About 80,000 packets of expired non-alcoholic drinks, 5,000 packets of dairy milk, 16,000 packets of bottled water, 28 cartons of pasta, and other various expired foodstuffs were among the things found during the operation, according to Akintola. According to reports, some of the items had already been wrapped for delivery.
He went on to say that the managers of the impacted BY Ventures warehouses had been taken into custody and questioned. Additionally, he said that Alhaji Yusuf Nadabo, the company’s managing director, was called in for interrogation and allegedly acknowledged possessing the expired goods.
Additional expired goods and allegedly fake Goya oil were found at the supermarkets. Additionally, the two outlets have been shut.
