The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) operatives have uncovered a warehouse containing packaging materials for suspected falsified medicines at the Tools and Hardware Complex, Lagos Trade Fair.
The facility was located on the complex’s top floor, where officials seized materials linked to products including Augmentin 625mg and Amplicloxa.
The site also contained bottle caps bearing the Gordon’s Gin brand, suggesting the operation may have involved counterfeit medicines and possibly illicit beverages.
Video shared by NAFDAC shows officials in agency vests examining stacks of medicine sachets, blister packs and plastic containers inside the dimly lit storage area.
The agency has not provided further details about arrests, the quantities seized or the suspected operators.
The discovery raises concerns about the possible distribution of falsified medicines and products carrying alcohol-brand packaging.
