The organisation’s Director-General, Farouk Salim, who made this known at a one-day workshop organised for journalists by his organisation in Abuja, added that the suspects were currently being prosecuted.

He added that during the same period, the agency confiscated substandard tyres and other products worth hundreds of millions of naira from across the country.
