A woman whose name is yet to be ascertained has cried out over alleged looting of her boutique shop in Onitsha, Anambra State, by operatives of the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

It was gathered that the raid took place during the raid and seizure of fake and expired drugs at the popular ?gb?gw? Market in Onitsha, the commercial hub of Anambra State.

The viral video showed the woman, who sells clothes and foot wears crying and lamenting helplessly when she visited her shop to resume trade after weeks of shut down.

She opened her shop to discover that her shop had been looted, with all her shelves and hangers empty, with empty shoe cartons lying on the floor.

The one-minute-forty-six-second video showed the alleged looted shop looking like a place that has been robbed.

According to the woman who cried throughout the video, she had invested her hard-earned money into stocking the shop with quality clothing items before the sudden closure of the market, only to return and meet it ransacked.

She cried out: ?NAFDAC has looted my shop. NAFDAC has looted my shop. This is where I make money from. This is what puts food on my table. What concerns clothes with drugs. NAFDAC has looted my shop. Look at my shop. Government come-oo! Come to my aid . . .?

The woman stressed that her means of livelihood had been unjustly taken away, leaving her in serious distress, the woman, who also showed her face in the video, expressed deep frustration over the situation, calling on the government and concerned authorities to intervene and ensure justice was served.

At the time of filing this report, NAFDAC is yet to officially respond to the allegations.

However, concerned citizens and traders have continued to express outrage over the incident, demanding an investigation into the claims and possible restitution for the affected shop owner.
