Nigeria's Customs Service seizes N1.8bn worth of expired, unregistered pharmaceuticals at Lagos Port.

Nigeria's Customs Service (NCS) has seized 12 containers of expired and unregistered pharmaceuticals worth N1.8 billion ($4.5 million) at Lagos Port. The seized drugs, including tramadol and codeine, lacked registration numbers from regulatory authorities, posing a security risk if allowed to exit the ports. Some containers were seized due to false declarations and lack of necessary regulatory requirements.
