The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested nine persons for making and selling pillows filled with used diapers and sanitary pads in Sokoto State.
The state’s Commandant, Bello Alkali
Argungun, who disclosed this on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, said the arrest followed
an intelligence report.
“They used small children who
get them the trash. They filled the pillow cases with it which they sell to
their customers. The pillowcases carry different logos of reputable foam
companies,” he said.
According to Argungun, this was
capable of endangering the health of the users.
"They may contract some
diseases without knowing the cause. I am appealing to our people to always go
for businesses that are legitimate,” he added.
He noted that investigation was
still ongoing after which the suspect would be charged to court.
