The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a warehouse stocked with banned, fake, and unregistered cosmetic products valued at over N3 billion at the APT Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.

NAFDAC, in a statement on Sunday, February 22, 2026, said the warehouse was concealed within an uncompleted building.

The agency added that the warehouse manager has been invited for further investigation as enforcement actions continue.

It listed items recovered to include 728 cartons of Crusader soap, 718 cartons of E45 soap, and Extract Gold whitening soaps, which are products banned by the federal government.

The agency noted that items such as assorted perfumes, body oils, and cooking oils were also found and placed on hold for further regulatory assessment, adding that all seized products have been evacuated to prevent distribution.

“NAFDAC warns that the sale and use of such products pose serious health risks. Members of the public are advised to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office,” the agency said.
