The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has launched an operation to seize banned alcoholic beverages.
The operation targets products in sachets and small PET bottles in Abuja’s Wuse Market.
According to a statement shared by the agency on its official Facebook Page, over ₦52 million worth of banned alcohol was confiscated during the crackdown.
This move is part of NAFDAC’s efforts to protect public health, especially to prevent harm to children. Manufacturers, retailers, and distributors are ordered to immediately cease the production, sale, and distribution of these items.
Violators will face penalties according to NAFDAC’s regulations. The ban was first introduced in 2018, following ministerial directives and stakeholder agreements.
