The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has apprehended nine individuals in Sokoto State for manufacturing and selling pillows filled with used diapers and sanitary pads.
VerseNews reports that the state’s Commandant, Bello Alkali Argungun, revealed that the arrest was made based on intelligence reports.
The suspects allegedly utilized small children to collect the discarded items, which were then used to fill pillowcases bearing logos of well-known foam companies.
“They used small children who get them the trash. They filled the pillowcases with it, which they sold to their customers. The pillowcases carry different logos of reputable foam companies.”
Mr Argungun warned unsuspecting buyers of the pillows of the health hazards, saying, “They may contract some diseases without knowing the cause. I am appealing to our people to always go for businesses that are legitimate.”
The NSCDC is taking action against this illicit activity and will charge the suspects to court.
