ALLEGED WIRETAPPING: COURT REJECTS EL-RUFAI’S NO-CASE SUBMISSION, ORDERS HIM TO ENTER DEFENCE A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to enter his defence, if he so desires, in his ongoing trial over the alleged unlawful interception of the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the order on Monday while ruling on El-Rufai’s no-case submission. The judge dismissed the application, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to warrant calling on the defendant to enter his defence. The court adjourned the case until November 25 for the defence.

 NAFDAC Alerts Public on Circulation of Substandard Insulin Syringes


The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a warning about the illegal circulation of substandard and falsified Knowit Insulin Syringe 40 IU 29G x 1/2 in Nigeria.


In a statement on Monday, NAFDAC raised concerns over the continued use of outdated 40 IU/ML insulin syringes, despite the availability of the standard 100 IU/ML version. The agency emphasized that the 40 IU/ML syringes are no longer registered and pose a significant risk of dosing errors, which could lead to life-threatening complications for diabetic patients.


“The 40 IU/ML insulin syringe was previously used alongside the 100 IU/ML variant for administering Lente animal insulins,” the statement explained. “However, with the discontinuation of animal insulins and the adoption of human insulins standardized at 100 IU/ML, the 40 IU/ML syringes are no longer applicable.”


NAFDAC warned that using a 40 IU/ML syringe for 100 IU/ML insulin increases the risk of miscalculations, which could result in incorrect dosages and serious health consequences.


To address this issue, NAFDAC has directed its zonal directors and state coordinators to conduct surveillance and remove the substandard syringes from circulation. It also urged importers, distributors, retailers, healthcare professionals, and caregivers to remain vigilant and prevent the sale or distribution of the outdated product.
