Man Nabbed For Selling Sawdust, Cement As Herbs In Kwara

A man, Dauda Afolabi, has been arrested in Kwara State for selling a mixture of sawdust, cement and Plaster of Paris (POP) powder as herbal medicine.

In a viral video which was seen by City & Crime, Afolabi said he used to visit many markets in the state to sell his products.

He said, “I put some quantity of sawdust, cement and gypsum powder used for making POP inside small white polythene bags, the type used to tie N5 water before, to sell to the public as herbal medicine for malaria and other ailments.

“I go to several markets in the state and get patronage. I don’t have a fixed prize for it. I sell based on bargain. I know it’s dangerous but because of the economic situation in the country.”

A resident of Gerewu community, Taibat, said Dauda was a regular caller at Mandate Market, Ilorin, before he was nabbed.
