NAFDAC bans the sale of Sniper Insecticides in open market and supermarkets. The National Food, Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC) has ordered agro-dealers to withdraw popular agricultural pesticide, Sniper, from open markets and supermarkets, to reduce its use for suicide across the country.
The federal government yesterday placed a restriction on the sale and use of the fatal agro-chemical product, Sniper.
The development was made public by NAFDAC’s director, Veterinary Medicine and Allied Products Directorate, Dr Bukar Usman, at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan on Wednesday, June 19, Leadership reports.
Since Sniper hits the Nigerian market, it has become the favourite of most Nigerians, especially the poor for killing mosquitoes and other pests. Similarly, the product has also been abused by many as they use it to commit suicide.

Is it the banning of snipers? I think govt should have some intervention strategies. So many things have been banned and people are not just listening...is kidnapping not banned? Is robbery not banned? Is 419 not banned?

Is egbo sold on the open market? No , yet people still spoke, so Eddy Boy those who want to die buy sniper will still do!!! They will end up making it expensive.

That's why i agree with that school of thought that says that Nigeria is a zoo.
Their policies are always incongruous. They choose to put the cart before the horse.
