The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has seized three petrol tankers used to convey edible vegetable oil in Lagos State.
In a post on X on Wednesday, the agency said the oil had reportedly been trans-loaded into the tankers from an edible oil depot.
“Concerned about the potential health risks due to chemical contamination from the tankers’ previous use for transporting petrol, NAFDAC officials escorted the tankers to a processing facility in Sango-Ota.
“The crude soy oil was then handed over to the Southwest Zonal Office of NAFDAC for further regulatory action,” the agency stated.
