The agency equally raided H-Medix in Wuse 2 and Gwarinpa, 3rd Avenue, as well as Utako market, all in the FCT.
During the raid at H-Medix, the agency discovered and seized counterfeit cosmetics, while fake drugs were also confiscated at Utako market.
NAFDAC Head of Investigation and Enforcement/Federal Taskforce, FCT, Abuja, Embugushiki-Musa Godiya, said the enforcement team had also raided Kugbo market in Nyanya and Mararaba axis in Nasarawa State on Tuesday.
He told newsmen that the team equally raided Wuse Market on Wednesday, where goods worth millions were seized.
