The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) said it is partnering with other relevant bodies on this as part of plans to discourage the use of Sniper as a tool for suicide.
This is in response to calls for a check on the proliferation and ease of access to Sniper in markets and streets across the nation.
The Director General of NAFDAC, Christiana Adeyeye, said Sniper containers “could now be made very difficult to open, or may be turned into a spray rather than the liquid contents it is known for.”
The suicide rate has increased in Nigeria with Sniper among the agents popularly used.

ReplyDeleteGood move
ReplyDeleteRight step in the right direction.
ReplyDeletethey should clamp down on the production of fake drugs in parts of tge country more persons has died from that more than sniper. i once saw a picture of people packaging water into drip packs at a dirty backyard in ontisha
ReplyDeleteAnd what did you do? Keeping quiet will never solve the problem. Next time, report to the right authority.
DeleteThere is the spray as an insecticide. I bought it while in Naija. Very good as well.
ReplyDeleteMy own is that sniper must not be banned. I like it, I buy it all the time, very useful.
ReplyDeleteTrue. They had better not ban it cos that sniper up there is good for cleaning of drainage from unwanted insects. Cockroaches and the rest biko.
DeleteCool
ReplyDeleteGood one because the rate at which people commit suicide with sniper is alarming.
ReplyDeleteIt is better to be turned into spray
ReplyDeleteBetter as a spray abeg. I even dilute in water before and put into a spritzer container.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I couldn’t find it in any supermarket in my area. Plus they were looking at me weirdly when I was going around asking for it to fumigate my backyard.
