As an aftermath of the #EndSARS protests which occurred in most parts of the country hoodlums had used the opportunity to cart drugs and chemicals from the NAFDAC warehouse in Kaduna at Narayi Area of Chikun LGA.
The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, Professor Moji Adeyeye who alerted the Governor Nasir El- Rufai about the dastardly act, expressed shock about the looting and mindless destruction of NAFDAC property by the hoodlums. According to report reaching Daybreak items carted away include expired prohibited and dangerous drugs, as the DG warns that anyone who consumes such drugs are at the risk of ill health and death.
Adeyeye said that concerted efforts are in place to brief up security around NAFDAC facilities nation wide to forestall reoccurrence.
Meanwhile Commissioner for Internal Security for Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan on behalf of the Kaduna State Government has warned the public and residents of the state to be vigilant and about the source of food and medications they consume and where they buy them from to avoid these dangers.
The management of a food processing company whose stores were looted in Kakuri has also disclosed that the stolen grains have been treated with chemical preservatives which render them unsafe for consumption.
The Kaduna State Government has appealed to the public for information on the identities of the looters and where they might have hidden the stolen items.
