He added that the facility was also operating without registration.
Mani said: “We acted swiftly based on credible intelligence and cracked down on an illegal herbal medicine facility in Mararaba, Jos.
“It’s alarming that all the equipment used in the unhygienic and hidden setup was substandard. These products pose serious health risks as their safety, quality, and efficacy cannot be guaranteed.”
The NAFDAC official revealed that unregistered products worth N5 million were seized and would be destroyed, while the facility remained sealed pending further investigation.
