Six states in the Northeast were involved in the seizure of the items: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Taraba, Gombe, and Yobe. Food items, medications, and other controlled commodities were among the supplies. According to Mr. Kenneth Azukwe, the Zonal Director of NAFDAC, the organisation is leading the charge in making sure that only high-quality, safe pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical supplies, bottled water, and food products are marketed and eaten in Nigeria.
