NAFDAC unleashes measures against dangerous drug hawking and deadly fruit ripening

In a dramatic and bold move, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has ignited a nationwide battle against the perilous underworld of illicit drug hawking and the sinister tactics of fruit ripening using deadly carbide.

The agency’s fervent call to arms was led by the formidable Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, Director-General of NAFDAC, who roared her message at the South East Zone Media Sensitization event in Awka.

The stage was set for an electrifying revelation as Dr. Leonard Omokpariola, the relentless Director of Chemical and Evaluation Research, voiced the chilling truth: drug hawkers are not just inconveniences, they are a lethal menace lurking within the shadows of national security.

Prof. Adeyeye, though absent in person, loomed larger than life through her representative, firing verbal salvos against the fruit peddlers who, through the use of carbide, are dicing with the lives of unsuspecting consumers.

The bombshell revelations from the corridors of NAFDAC headquarters have sent shockwaves through the nation. The heart-stopping confession that fruits, tainted by calcium carbide, pose a clear and present danger to health has left citizens gripping their chairs. The unsettling truth – the very fruits that grace kitchen tables may be silent assassins, poisoning the unsuspecting with every bite.

In a rallying cry that reverberated through the event, Prof. Adeyeye’s words ignited the call for a united front against this impending doom. “We, the guardians of public safety, are taking the fight to the trenches, but we cannot conquer this threat alone,” she declared with unwavering resolve.

The urgency of the situation was palpable as she beseeched law enforcement agencies, media warriors, and the patriotic souls of Nigeria to join forces against these insidious acts. “This is not just an issue for NAFDAC, but for every Nigerian who values their safety and their nation’s honor,” she bellowed.

And as the dust settles, the message remains clear: NAFDAC is declaring all-out war. Illegal drug hawkers will be met with the full fury of the law, no corner left unsearched, no offender left unchallenged. Prof. Adeyeye’s words echo as a stern warning that reverberates through the halls of justice.

But it doesn’t stop there. The battle cry was not contained within the walls of NAFDAC alone. Mr. Onyishi Ogbonna, the valiant Anambra State Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), pledged his alliance in the fight against drug peddlers.

As if ripped from the pages of an action thriller, the connection between hawking and criminal networks was revealed, unveiling a shadowy underworld where drug hawkers are the puppet masters of nefarious organizations. With unwavering determination, he promised to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with NAFDAC, cleansing society of this toxin.

Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, Director of Public Affairs at NAFDAC, reminded the audience that the media is the weapon of choice in this crusade. He unleashed a plea for action, drawing attention to the silent killers that thrive in ignorance.

“People perish needlessly in the darkness of ignorance,” he cried out, urging the media to bear witness to the battle, to illuminate every dark corner of the nation until there is nowhere left to hide.

In a thunderous crescendo, the call for action resonates. NAFDAC has sounded the alarm, declaring war against the underground empire of drug hawkers and the poisonous fruit vendors.

This is not a battle for the faint-hearted; this is a war for the very soul of Nigeria. The banner is raised high, fluttering in the winds of change, beckoning all who hear its call to rise and join the battle against these twin demons of peril.
