The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, on Wednesday in Kano, uncovered and sealed a warehouse stocked with 88,560 litres of controlled chemicals, including sulphuric and nitric acid, used for explosives in Kano.
The Director-General of the Agency, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, disclosed this while briefing newsmen at the facility in Kwakwachi, Fagge Local Government Area of the state.
Adeyeye, represented by the Director of Investigation and Enforcement, NAFDAC, Dr Martins Iluyomade, said the warehouse contained 60,000 litres of sulphuric acid at 90.5 per cent, and 28,560 litres of nitric acid at 68 per cent, alongside 330 empty jerricans whose contents had been dispensed to unknown persons.
“What we have seen here is mind-boggling, I don’t think I have ever seen this quantity of concentrated nitric and sulphuric acid together in one place like this before,” Adeyeye said.
