Nollywood star and media executive Mary Remmy Njoku has sparked an intense conversation across social media after directly calling out regulatory authorities over the alarming rise of unverified and fake food products circulating in Nigerian markets.
Taking to her verified social media handles, the vocal filmmaker expressed deep frustration over the apparent lack of strict market surveillance, questioning whether public health agencies are doing enough to protect everyday consumers from harmful, substandard consumables.
“How are these fake, unlabeled, and adulterated items finding their way into major markets across the country without being flagged?” she asked, calling for immediate intervention, heightened border control, and regular market raids to sweep dangerous goods off the shelves.
Her passionate appeal comes amid growing public anxiety regarding food safety and consumer health.
