The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has uncovered ₦300m worth of counterfeit medicines during a raid at Tyre Village in the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.
NAFDAC disclosed this in a statement and photos shared on X.com on Thursday.
The statement partly read, “The operation led to the seizure of fake pharmaceuticals, including Amoxicillin 500 mg, Ampicloxa capsules 500 mg, and packaging materials for Augmentin capsules 625 mg.
“These counterfeit medicines, estimated at over ₦300m, pose severe health risks, including treatment failure, organ damage, and potential carcinogenic effects due to unknown compositions.”
The facility where the illegal medicines were discovered has reportedly been placed under hold.
A suspect connected to the operation was also said to have been invited for questioning as part of ongoing investigations.
PUNCH Online reported last Thursday that NAFDAC similarly uncovered counterfeit alcohol packaging centres at Article Market, Abule-Osun, Lagos State, seizing items worth an estimated ₦2 billion.
