Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (北美食品药品监督管理局) 已禁止销售和供应 30 种农化产品，据总部位于尼日利亚的 先锋新闻 服务。
NAFDAC 总干事多拉·阿库尼利 (Dora Akunyili) 表示，当消费者食用农药含量高的粮食作物后发现农药导致食物中毒并导致多人死亡时，禁令就变得必要了。
“We got report that many people in Bekwarra LGA of Cross River State suffered from food poisoning due to ingestion of moi-moi and beans. A total of 112 people were hospitalised and the deaths of two children were recorded,” Akuntili said.
“The moi-moi and beans from the homes of the victims and from open markets in Taraba and Benue states were collected for laboratory analysis. The laboratory report revealed outrageously high levels of organophosphates, carbamates, fenithrothion, and chloropyrifos, that are highly toxic pesticides,” she continued.
“We got another report that over 120 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Doma, Gombe were rushed to Gombe Specialist Hospital after consuming a meal of beans suspected to have been preserved with poisonous chemicals,” she said. “Samples were again taken to our laboratory and it was discovered that the foodstuffs contained outrageously high levels of lindane, an organochlorinated pesticide commonly called Gammallin that affects the nervous system, producing a range of symptoms from nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness to seizure, convulsion, and death.”
在这些悲惨事件发生后，NAFDAC 表示，尼日利亚人应停止使用未经该机构批准的农用化学品，并应停止使用 Gammallin 捕鱼的危险做法。
一些禁用的杀虫剂是艾氏剂、乐杀灭、敌菌丹、氯丹、杀虫双、滴滴涕、狄氏剂、地诺塞、二氯乙烷、七氯、林丹、对硫磷、磷胺、久效磷、甲胺磷、氯苯甲酸酯、毒杀芬、异狄氏剂、merix endosulfan、delta HCH 和环氧乙烷。
