A tanker loaded with drugs worth over N10million, vegetables and other essentials was intercepted by men of Nigeria Customs Service in Kaduna and handed over to the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
While receiving the seized fake drugs and products, the NAFDAC deputy director in charge of the North-West, Dr Eric Iful, said that samples of the seized drugs had been sent to the laboratory for analysis, adding that the seized drugs were considered to be fake because they had not been registered by NAFDAC.
The driver of the tanker which was painted in the colour of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation with NNPC inscribed on the body, was said to have run away while investigations were on to arrest the culprits.
Speaking while conducting newsmen round the seized goods at the customs office in Kaduna, the comptroller in charge of the Federal Operations Unit (FOU) Zone B, Mr Abubakar Gusau said they had also realised about N1.3 billion revenue and made 577 seizure of contraband since January 2010.
