A viral post on X, formerly known as Twitter, captured the distressing moment. In the video, the woman could be heard crying out in agony, lamenting the loss of her goods.

According to her, NAFDAC was responsible for the act, and she pleaded with the government to intervene.

“See my shop oo! This is where I make my money. NAFDAC looted my shop oo! All my clothes are gone. What you’ve done is wrong oo! Government, please come to my aid. NAFDAC has looted my shop!” she cried.

She further stated that several pairs of shoes and other valuables were also taken, stressing that the act was unjust.

As the video circulated online, many concerned individuals flooded the comment section to express their thoughts on the incident.

See some reactions below:

@EbunDele54183: “I hope this is not another antics to discredit NAFDAC. You made video of ransacked/ purported looted or raided shop. You need to do better by providing a corresponding video of the alleged looting. NAFDAC must get to the root of this matter though for integrity sake.”

@Handel_x: “The first reaction from Yorubas, if it’s about Igbo people, is to assume that the Govt is being set up? That’s bigotry in simple terms. You can’t hide it or suppress it… Given the oppressive and corrupt nature of Nigeria, and the target against the Igbos since the 60s.”

@princepark5252: “We are doomed as a Nation. And we are likely not going to do anything. If not how are we allowing all these messes to continue, no reaction and no action.”

@DatNaijaGuy1: ‘I strongly believe this is a calculated effort by these fake drug dealers to paint nafdac as evil and to get public support so as to slow down the good work nafdac is doing in it fight against fake drugs.”

@Maxzypriesty: “Nigeria is just a failed state. NAFDAC are a bunch of criminals. This is sad!.”

@Nithsmit: “We asked why will NAFDAC close the whole shops in a market and some people who God will continue to punish them came out to say otherwise. NAFDAC looted people’s shops and they must pay for it all. There’s no institution under Tinubu that’s not stealing.”
