Addressing journalists at the destruction site, Dankingari said that unregulated drugs like the ones being destroyed are fuelling banditry, kidnapping and insecurity in the country. That is why the Federal Government, through the Customs and NAFDAC, regularly mop up these drugs from circulation. For today, we are destroying eight containers of these drugs. In total, we have 48 containers of drugs that will be destroyed in the coming days”“These drugs came into the country as import units but were seized after examination revealed that they are substandard and fake. These drugs didn’t pass through NAFDAC regulation and have everything written on them in foreign languages that Nigerians won’t be able to read.
