The Adamawa command of the Nigeria Immigration Service says it has confiscated 80 packages of Diazepam along the Nigeria- Cameroon international border.
Comptroller of the Service in charge of Adamawa, Mohammed Falali said this at the handover of the drugs to officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC in Yola.
He explained that the drugs were confiscated in August 2020 by the command’s personnel on patrol at Wuro Bokki, a Nigerian border town with Cameroon.
Responding, shortly after receiving the drugs, Pharm Gonzuk Nyor, NAFDAC’s state coordinator, appreciated the efforts of the NIS, saying that the fight against fake and counterfeit drugs was not only for the agency, but a collective responsibility.
According to the coordinator, only God knows how many people will have been affected if the drugs had reach their destination.
