The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has shut down a supermarket selling and distributing banned, unregistered and counterfeit regulated products, including rice in Maitama, Abuja.
NAFDAC disclosed this on Saturday, April 26, 2025, noting that the supermarket also obstructed the agency’s officers during the enforcement of regulatory actions.
“During an initial visit, NAFDAC inspectors discovered several banned and unregistered items. Despite being invited to the Agency for further investigation, the supermarket’s management refused to comply.
“This prompted a follow-up operation by an enforcement team, during which the team also faced obstruction,” the regulatory body stated.
It added that the items seized from the premises include unregistered pet food, banned imported soaps, and counterfeit or re-bagged rice, among others.
