The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Wednesday in Abuja sealed two shops for allegedly selling unapproved products to Nigerians.
The shops are located in the Zuba Central motor park and Utako main market.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that some of the unregistered products said to be aphrodisiacs are: “Hajiya Ayesha Snuff, AK47, Bulletproof, and Hajiya Aysha Maisanda.
Mr Tamanuwa Baba, Deputy Director, investigation and Enforcement directorate, NAFDAC, said the operation followed intelligence reports received about the shops.
“The products are meant to boost sexual performance and some were said to have been manufactured in Ghana.
“NAFDAC laboratory analysis indicates that these products contain a chemical substance called Pyridine which is a potentially harmful to the human body.
“We found a lot of unregistered products in the two shops. We will begin immediate investigations,” he said.
Baba said that the agency has apprehended the sales representative in the Zuba shop pending when the owner of the shop will return from his journey.
“We will get in touch with the owner of the shop on where he is sourcing these products from, but from the label on the products, some of them were allegedly manufactured in Ghana.
