NAFDAC uncovers syndicate importing banned crusader soap into Nigeria

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has arrested members of a syndicate importing crusader soaps containing mercury into the country.

The NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, who disclosed this to journalists on Friday in Lagos, said the syndicate used forged customs documents to import the product into the country.

She said the NAFDAC banned the importation of the soap into the country some years ago because it contains mercury.
