The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has intensified its crackdown on harmful bleaching products with the arrest of Kabeer Mohammed in Maiduguri. Mohammed was detained for illegally mixing and selling high-concentration bleaching creams at the popular Monday market.

NAFDAC’s raid on the market is part of a broader initiative to address the rising misuse of dangerous bleaching products in Nigeria’s northeastern region. The agency has vowed to enforce strict sanctions on those found violating regulations.

In a statement shared on NAFDAC’s official X handle, the agency emphasized its commitment to curbing the distribution of harmful cosmetics and safeguarding public health.
