NAFDAC Uncovers Illegal Herbal Product Factory In Lagos, Arrests Company Manager Over F@lsified Registration Number
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered an illegal herbal product manufacturing facility in Agege, Lagos State, following a report by The Guardian on October 10, 2026, about herbal products allegedly bearing f@lsified NAFDAC registration numbers.
According to the agency, its investigative team conducted surveillance and subsequently discovered three variants of Asheitu Adams Bitters bearing NAFDAC Registration Number A7-1827L.
However, verification through NAFDAC’s NAPAMS portal revealed that the registration number actually belongs to Greentol Cough Syrup, confirming its fraudulent use on the herbal products.
During the operation, the company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer was reportedly absent, while the company manager was arrested for further interrogation.
NAFDAC said the discovery followed investigations into the reported use of falsified registration numbers on herbal products.
