NAFDAC arrest footballer in Abuja for manufacturing, distributing, unregistered hazardous chemicals.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has arrested a local footballer, Ikechukwu Elijah, in the Apo-Waru area of Abuja for manufacturing and distributing hazardous, unregistered chemicals to the unsuspecting public.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by NAFDAC’s deputy director of public relations and protocol, Adegboyega Osiyemi, on Friday, September 5.
Counterfeit and substandard products have remained a persistent public health threat in Nigeria.
NAFDAC has repeatedly warned that such items expose citizens to dangerous substances, compromise safety, and undermine trust in regulated goods.
According to its statement, NAFDAC said the suspect operates an illegal factory in a residential building in the area and is notorious for counterfeiting popular brands of chemicals and insecticides.
“Initially, when contacted for interrogation by detectives, he denied any knowledge of chemical production in the area.
“He later confessed to the crime and admitted ownership of the illegal facility after a thorough search was conducted around the compound.
“The operation also led to the arrest of his younger brother inside the factory.
