The herbal mix is being distributed across major cities in the country without formal approval from the regulatory agency.
The factory operator, in an interview with journalists, said he had been producing the concoction for over five years.
He, however, confirmed that he had yet to perfect all necessary documents with NAFDAC.
The Zonal Director of NAFDAC, Roseline Ajayi, expressed concern about the development.
Ajayi, who explained that the agency was alerted by some concerned Nigerians, added that the suspect had no pending application before NAFDAC.
She said, “The premises of the unauthorised factory has been sealed by NAFDAC officials, while the suspect has been handed over to the police for prosecution.”
