Recall that the agency also raided drug hawkers at the Area 1 and Deidei motor parks of the territory.
The 19 drug hawkers and shop owners were arrested during the two operations, and are currently undergoing investigation at the agency’s head office in Abuja.
The Assistant Chief Regulatory Officer, Investigation and Enforcement Unit, Federal Task Force, NAFDAC, Mr Umar Ahmed,said that the raids were part of efforts to sanitise the country of unwholesome goods and counterfeit drugs.
According to him, activities of drug hawkers have now become rampant in the FCT, hence the need for NAFDAC enforcement to check unwholesome acts.
Ahmed said that the raid, which is also going on nationwide, followed complaints from stakeholders like the Department of State Services, DSS.
