Parading the suspect before journalists in Zaria, Kaduna State on Saturday, the NDLEA Commander, Mr Samuel Azige, said that the suspect was captured in his shop in Kano State with 1,544 containers of torment reliever drugs which lapsed in 2014.
"The suspect has a major distribution center in Zaria where he stores the products he supplied to his clients in Kano," Mr Azige told correspondents.
He said that every container of the unlawful medications, costs around 9,000 Naira.
Yet, the suspect, who is a patent prescription merchant, denied the claim, saying he purchased the medications from a pharmaceutical organization in Lagos much sooner than it terminated.
He likewise guaranteed to have kept the medications at a distribution center in Zaria pending the time he would get endorsement from NAFDAC and NDLEA before annihilating it.

He expressed that examination was at that point on, while the suspect would be charged to court soon.
