During a targeted enforcement raid on the top floor of the Tools and Hardware Complex inside the Trade Fair Complex along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, NAFDAC officials discovered huge quantities of counterfeit packaging materials. Items seized included empty cartons for popular antibiotics like Augmentin 625mg and Ampiclox capsules, branded bottle caps and seals for Gordon’s Gin, as well as unlabelled lotions and tubes meant for fake skincare products.
NAFDAC has warned Nigerians that fake antibiotics and adulterated drinks carry life-threatening health risks, and confirmed that investigations are ongoing to track down the operators while urging consumers to buy drugs and drinks strictly from accredited outlets.

This trade fair complex has been in the news recently for this type of life threatening activity, what is going on? I think the government should empower NAFDAC to do a total search of that entire place. The same should be extended to Idumota drug section too.
