Mr Ahmed Suleiman, NAFDAC Kaduna Unit, Assistant Chief Regulatory Officer, Investment and Enforcement, said that the exercise was a routine exercise for the agency as part of curbing those involved in drug hawking. According to him, the agency is determined to reduce the hawking of unapproved products to a minimum level. “The agency has directed that anyone caught will be arrested and properly persecuted,” he said.

Suleiman however, advised Nigerians to stop patronising the people selling unapproved products. He said that three suspects were apprehended and that they would be persecuted according to the agency’s directives while others absconded. “We will continue to go round to arrest anyone involved in such acts,” he said.
