NAFDAC was informed by the Ministry of Health on Thursday of some Chinese drugs that contain human remains.
NAFDAC’s Director General Moji Christianah Adeyeye says she immediately alerted the Agency’s Ports Inspection Directorate to be on the lookout at our ports and borders since the drugs may be brought into the country as small packages.
The Pharmacovigilance and Post-Marketing Directorate has also been alerted to conduct surveillance in our markets as well as the Registration and Regulatory Affairs Directorate.
The DG has also contacted her counterpart in South Korea since the news was disseminated by Nigeria and Korea Intelligence Agencies.
It will be recalled that a message trending on social media revealed that the South Korean Customs Service had seized two thousand, seven hundred and fifty-one Chinese drugs/capsules, containing human remains from foetuses, infants and flesh imported into the country by some Chinese Nations. More details of this as they develop.
