The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a warehouse stocked with expired baby wipes valued at about ₦42 million, allegedly intended for illegal revalidation and sale to unsuspecting consumers.
The agency disclosed this in a post on its official Facebook page, stating that its officials discovered more than 240 cartons of expired baby wipes that had already been revalidated and repackaged.
NAFDAC also revealed that about 20,000 additional expired baby wipes, equivalent to 625 cartons, were found in the warehouse awaiting the same revalidation process.
According to the agency, one suspect was arrested at the scene, while the warehouse was sealed and the products confiscated pending further investigation.
