The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has sealed 150 shops at Eziukwu Market in Aba, Abia State, following the discovery of counterfeit and expired products valued at ₦5 billion.
During a two-day enforcement operation on December 16 and 17, 2024, NAFDAC uncovered massive production and distribution of fake goods, including beverages, wines, spirits, carbonated drinks, vegetable oils, and revalidated food items such as noodles, powdered milk, and yoghurt.
Describing Eziukwu Market as a hotspot for counterfeit and substandard products, the Director of NAFDAC’s South-East Zone, Dr Martins Iluyomade, expressed frustration over the market’s persistent illegal activities.
He noted that market leaders had previously pledged in December 2023 to expose counterfeiters but failed to honour their commitment.
The Director General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, reiterated the agency’s zero tolerance for such practices.
She emphasised NAFDAC’s steadfast dedication to protecting public health and resolving the widespread issue of counterfeit products in the market.
