One of the vendors told SaharaReporters that NAFDAC officials frequently visit the market, move from one shop to another and seal businesses whose perfumes they claim are not registered.

Perfume vendors at the Trade Fair Market in Lagos State have protested against alleged harassment and repeated sealing of their shops by officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

The vendors staged the protest on Thursday, according to a video obtained by SaharaReporters, where they accused NAFDAC officials of subjecting them to prolonged harassment over the registration of their perfume products.

One of the vendors told SaharaReporters that NAFDAC officials frequently visit the market, move from one shop to another and seal businesses whose perfumes they claim are not registered.

The source said the situation had been ongoing for about two years but had intensified in recent weeks.
