The Northeast Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has destroyed 681 bags of adulterated fertilizer intercepted last year.
Ibrahim Shazali, the Northeast Zonal Head of Operations, told newsmen just before the destruction that this followed a court order for the destruction after the conviction of the dealer, Usman Adamu Shagari.
He said, the dealer was taken to court and after his conviction, an order was given for the destruction of the adulterated products.
According to him, the commission will not rest on its oars in bringing to book those involved in economic and financial crimes as well as those sabotaging Federal Government’s food security programmes.
Mr. Shazali, who appealed for cooperation from the public by exposing financial crimes and saboteurs, assured that the Commission will also continue to collaborate with other agencies in order to succeed in the fight against the menace.
He called on the Katsina State Government to put an eagle eye on the activities of dubious persons in Kankara Local Government Area of the State, where the fake raw materials for the fertilizer is being found.
The destruction of the fake fertilizer was jointly done with the Gombe State Ministry of Environment, National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFFAC) and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the State dump site along Gombe-Potiskum road
