At the APT Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) discovered a warehouse filled with illegal, counterfeit, and unregistered cosmetics worth more than ₦3 billion. The facility was hidden in an incomplete structure.
In a post on Sunday through its X handle (@NafdacAgency), the Agency stated that among the items found were 728 cartons of Crusader soap, 718 cartons of E45 soap, and Extract Gold whitening soaps—all of which are federally prohibited.
Other items, including body oils, cooking oils, and various perfumes, were also discovered and put on hold for additional regulatory review. To stop distribution, all confiscated goods have been removed.
According to the agency, as enforcement actions continue, the warehouse manager has been invited for additional investigation.
The sale and use of such products present significant health risks, according to NAFDAC’s warning. The public is urged to exercise caution and notify the closest NAFDAC office of any suspicious activity.
