NAFDAC Kaduna State Coordinator Nasiru Mato unleashed a no-holds-barred raid on Saturday after a hot tip, slamming shut a grimy depot packed with yoghurt and flavoured drinks stored in deplorable sanitary conditions—prime for deadly contamination and breaching every quality-safety rule in the book. In the same intel-driven sweep, they slapped a hold on a sachet water and water-based drinks factory where Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and hygiene standards were laughably ignored, dooming products to unwholesome risks.
Mato hammered home NAFDAC’s consumer-protection mandate through ramped-up surveillance on making, moving, and selling regulated goods—insisting producers stick to Standard Operating Procedures or face brutal legal smackdown. This mirrors relentless ops like January’s N75M expired warehouse bust in Kaduna and nationwide fake-drug sweeps sealing thousands of shops, proving zero tolerance for health saboteurs amid rising substandard threats.
Kaduna’s crackdown spotlights NAFDAC’s war on fakes from hawkers peddling toxic sex enhancers to massive ODM raids evacuating trillions in illicit narcotics—urging all manufacturers: comply or get crushed.
