NAFDAC in a post Monday on its X handle noted that its Investigation and Enforcement Directorate found out the facilities and ensured the arrest of the producer, identified as Pius Eyoh.
Mr Eyoh, the owner of Pasco Global Limited, was apprehended for “manufacturing, packaging, distributing, and selling a range of substandard and counterfeit cosmetic products.”
The confiscated items include Skin Balance Perfect Knuckle Organic Peel Therapy and Golden Face Triple Action Concentrated Perfect Skin.
How it happened
According to NAFDAC, Mr Eyoh was caught in the act of processing and packaging these cosmetic products with false labels bearing French inscriptions and a Cameroonian address.
“NAFDAC’s intervention led to the sealing of the illegal manufacturing premises, Eyoh’s arrest, and the scheduling of his substandard products for destruction,” it noted.
