The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has taken action against an illegal operation manufacturing counterfeit cosmetics at the Benue Plaza, Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.
In a post shared on its social media handle on Tuesday, September 17, the agency announced the closure of the facility. This decision was made following a raid by its officials, during which they found an array of unregistered chemicals, packaging materials, and expired products being falsely revalidated for sale.
During the operation, over 1,200 cartons of fake cosmetic products were seized by NAFDAC.
The items including mini-mixing containers, unlabelled chemicals, batch coding materials, and thinners, were confiscated and moved to the NAFDAC office for further investigation.
The Agency estimated the street value of the confiscated items to be around N50 million.
