He stressed that fake pharmaceutical and skincare products pose serious health risks to the public.

He wrote: “The amount of fake drugs, fake deodorants, fake toothpaste and fake skin care in Nigeria is ridiculous. In one month, I have bought fake codliver oil, fake Gestid, fake sensodyne, fake Simple face wash, fake deodorant, etc. NAFDAC need to raid all big supermarkets in Abuja.”

FocalPoint Reports that NIWA said the boat accident, which claimed the life of the actor and four others on the Anam River in Anambra State in April 2024, was caused by human error, not mechanical failure.

NIWA’s Managing Director, Bola Oyebamiji, revealed this during a multi-modal transportation stakeholders’ meeting held in Abuja on Thursday.

He explained that the accident happened because safety rules were not followed.

Some passengers reportedly refused to wear life jackets that were offered to them before the journey.
