The state government warned the hoodlums or members of the public against ingesting the drugs to avoid health complications. 

The fake and expired drugs were said to have been looted from NAFDAC’s warehouse in Narayi, Chikun local government area of the state. 

Aruwan said, “The looted items include expired, prohibited and dangerous drugs. Persons who consume such drugs are at great risk of serious illness and death. 

“The management of a food processing company whose stores were looted in Kakuri has also disclosed that the stolen grains have been treated with chemical preservatives which render them unsafe for consumption.

The commissioner urged members of the public with useful information on the whereabouts of the hoodlums or looted items to alert the state government.
