NAFDAC Discovers Unregistered Narcotics in Idumota Shops

Fake Drugs and Vaccines Found in Idumota Toilets

In a recent enforcement operation at the Idumota open drug market in Lagos, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) uncovered alarming quantities of unregistered narcotics, counterfeit GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) medicines, and vaccines improperly stored in toilets.

This discovery highlights significant public health risks associated with the distribution and consumption of unregulated pharmaceuticals. NAFDAC has reaffirmed its commitment to eradicating the circulation of substandard and falsified drugs in Nigeria.
