Nollywood actress raises alarm over fake products, begs NAFDAC for solutions [VIDEO]

Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has urged the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to ramp up efforts to curb the circulation of fake and potentially hazardous products in Nigeria. In a recent video posted on her Instagram account, Kadiri expressed grave concerns over the safety of products available in the country, warning that counterfeit and contaminated food, drinks, medicines, cosmetics, and household items pose a significant threat to human life.

"Dear Nigerians, I'm speaking to you with a heavy heart and deep concern about the circulation of fake products in our country," Kadiri began. "Every day, people purchase food, drinks, medicine, cosmetics, and household items believing them to be safe, but in reality, some are poorly produced, contaminated, harmful, and mostly fake."

Kadiri emphasized that this issue extends beyond just a business concern; it represents a direct threat to human life. She recounted how she once bought garlic, only to find the color of the garlic had changed upon returning from downstairs. This experience, coupled with the experiences of others she's encountered, has left her deeply apprehensive about purchasing packaged drinks for her children, fearing the consequences.

Kadiri implored NAFDAC to prioritize the welfare of Nigerians, noting that "lots and lots of people are sick and are not getting better."
