The rate at which expired and adulterated food products and drugs flood markets across Nigeria is a source of concern. Four deaths and 284 hospitalisations were recently recorded in Kano State due to that. The incident, which resulted from a strange disease, was later traced to food poisoning from a flavoured drink that contained a chemical called ‘xan tsami’ by locals. According to the Kano State Coordinator of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Pharmacist Shaba Mohammed, the agency traced the source of the citric acid believed to be the main cause of the strange disease. He said three days after the victims were hospitalised, they started urinating blood.
