Sokoto: Civil Defence nabs nine for making pillows with used diapers, sanitary pads
Nine persons have been arrested in Sokoto for making and selling pillows containing used diapers and sanitary pads.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) announced the arrest at the state command’s headquarters on Wednesday.
The state’s commandant, Bello Alkali Argungun, said, “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.”
He stated that the suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
