The Kano State Consumer Protection Council (KCPC) has seized approximately 419 cartons of expired pesticides from a premises located on Club Road. This action was prompted by intelligence suggesting the stockpiling of the products, presumably with the intent of repackaging and reselling them in the market. According to a press release from KCPC Director of Public Enlightenment, Jamilu Mustapha Yakasai, the council's team conducted the operation following the receipt of this information.
The seized pesticides were found to have surpassed their expiration dates, prompting the council to express concern over the potential health hazards they could introduce if reintroduced to the market. The KCPC has cordoned off the storage area while they investigate the situation and determine the appropriate legal steps to take.
KCPC Chairman Dr Ibrahim Garba Muhammad has called on the public to stay alert and immediately report any suspected expired, tampered with or otherwise hazardous products to the council.
