NSCDC arrests nine in Sokoto for producing, selling pillows with used diapers, sanitary pads
Nine individuals have been apprehended by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Sokoto State for producing and selling pillows filled with used diapers and sanitary pads.
The arrests were made following an intelligence report, according to the state’s Commandant, Bello Alkali Argungun.
Argungun explained that the suspects used young children to obtain the waste materials, which they then stuffed into pillowcases bearing the logos of well-known foam companies.
This practice, he warned, poses a significant health risk to users as they may contract diseases without realizing the cause.
