The National Agency for food and Drug Administration and
control (NAFDAC) has sealed Kev. Chem. Industry cosmetic in Enugu for alleged
not registering the company with the agency and selling of fake products.
The state coordinator of the agency, Mr. Ikechukwu Okoye said
that the manufacturer by name Mr. Kelvin Eze was faking some products by
labeling them made in England, America and USA while the products is being
produced at Abakpa Nike.
However, Eze denied
that he never faked any product even as he said he has commenced the process of
registering the products with agency.
He said the name of the product is his but he put overseas
address to get our people to patronize the product. Products he produces are
body cream, shampoo, hair cream, hair conditions and other hair treatments.
However, NAFDAC coordinator said the agency would sanction
him by closing down the factory stressing that Eze was using two shops for the
business one for office and the other one was where he was producing the
products which he said violates the rule of setting-up factory.
Okoye said that what they needed from the public was
information, adding that somebody gave them the information and his address and
they came and caught him read handed producing the products.
“Once we came we will perform our duty to the best of our
knowledge. If you want to buy any product check the NAFDAC registration number,
production date, expiration date and the address of where the products were
produced.
“So if you see some products without NAFDAC number be on
your toes because what we register is NAFDAC registration number most times
when they are faking they just put only NAFDAC number” he said.
