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.
In an attached video showing one of the seized tankers, a NAFDAC official said credible information revealed that the same tankers used to load vegetable oil had been used to load petroleum products.
He said investigation would inform the suspects of “the dangers inherent in mixing petroleum products which we know are carcinogenic, not safe for human consumption.
The agency said NAFDAC boss Moji Adeyeye has established a committee to develop guidelines and a code of ethics for the marketing and distribution of edible vegetable oils in Nigeria.
NAFDAC urged the public to report any suspicious or unwholesome practices related to food and regulated products
