Officials of Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) have seized three petrol-carrying trucks in the Apapa area of Lagos for allegedly transporting edible vegetable oil. The oil had reportedly been trans-loaded into the tankers from an oil depot.
The agency highlighted that using petrol tankers to transport edible oil could lead to “chemical contamination from the tankers’ previous use,” posing a serious threat to public health.
