Customs hands over seized illicit drugs worth N24.6m to NAFDAC 

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has received a cache of smuggled and unregistered pharmaceutical products from the Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Operations Unit “A”, as part of ongoing inter-agency efforts to curb the circulation of illicit medicines.

Among the seized items was a large quantity of banned Tramadol 250mg in unapproved pack sizes, allegedly trafficked into the country by criminal syndicates.

According to a statement on the NAFDAC’s X handle on Saturday, the seizure, valued at N24.6 million, also included the handover of a suspect to NAFDAC for further investigation.

NAFDAC’s statement reads: “In a continued show of inter-agency collaboration, NAFDAC received a consignment of smuggled, unregistered, and illicit pharmaceutical products from the Nigeria Customs Service (Federal Operations Unit “A”).

“The banned Tramadol 250mg in unapproved pack sizes, which had been smuggled into the country by criminal traffickers, was handed over to NAFDAC alongside the suspect for further investigation. The seizure is valued at ₦24.6 million.

“NAFDAC commends #CustomsNG for its continued efforts in safeguarding public health and supporting the Agency’s mandate to eliminate substandard and falsified medicines from circulation.”
