The Nigeria Customs Service in Sokoto State has seized no fewer than 1,198 unregistered drugs and sexual enhancement products in Sokoto State.
The Area Comptroller of the Sokoto Command, Musa Omale, disclosed this while handing over the seizures to the State Coordinator, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Wednesday.
Omale said the drugs included 450 cartons of Real Extra tablets, 405 cartons of sex enhancement drugs, 148 cartons of condoms, 30 cartons of Verno’s chewable drugs, among others.
He noted that the importation of such pharmaceutical drugs should be through the sea port and not the land border.

The Customs boss also said the service had streamlined the importation of all pharmaceutical drugs through designated sea ports, and they were only cleared after meeting the prerequisite documentation.
While receiving the items, the NAFDAC Coordinator in the state, Garba Abubakar Adamu, commended Customs for their proactive surveillance and assisting the Agency to stamp out illicit drugs in the country.
Adamu, while advising the public to be vigilant of substandard drugs on the streets, added that the seized drugs were either not registered with relevant agencies or had expired.
