The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned the people in Jigawa against buying treated rice seedlings meant for planting for consumption.
The NAFDAC Director in the state, Malam
Abduljalal Manzo, issued the warning during an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse on Thursday.
Manzo said NAFDAC had carried out a mop
up operation in the area following reports by the Nigerian Security and
Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) on the processing and sale of treated rice
seedlings in Kazaure Local Government Area.
He said that the mop up revealed that
some market women were processing rice seedlings and selling to the
public for consumption.
Manzo said that two suspects involved in the activity were arrested and handed over to the agency by men of NSCDC.
