NAFDAC Announces Plan To Further Regulate Sniper

The Nigerian government may direct a change in the package of ‘Sniper’, an agro-chemical that has increasingly become a choice killer for persons contemplating suicide, an official said.





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.

    1. And what did you do? Keeping quiet will never solve the problem. Next time, report to the right authority.

  8. No 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.
