A Kano court has mandated the disposal of over 400 bags of deteriorated wheat flour seized by the Kano State Consumer Protection Council. The flour was found to be unsafe for consumption, as reported by concerned citizens to the council. KCPC's Director of Public Enlightenment, Jamilu Mustapha Yakasai, announced the court order in a statement on Wednesday.
The legal action aims to prevent the flour from resurfacing in the market. KCPC's Executive Secretary, Dr Ibrahim Garba Muhammad, emphasized the council's commitment to consumer protection by enforcing regulations and taking legal action against violators. He stated that the measures were necessary to safeguard public health and prevent residents from purchasing potentially harmful products.
Muhammad urged traders to adhere to the council's regulations, clarifying that the agency's actions were aimed at promoting lawful trading and protecting consumer rights, rather than intimidating or harassing business owners. He also recommended that residents inspect the quality and safety of goods before purchasing them and report any suspicious products or practices to the council.
Muhammad praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his support, stating that it had bolstered the agency's capacity to fulfill its responsibilities.
