“You are killing Nigerians in order to make money,which is not good.”
That’s the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) scolding Nigerians caught in the act of counterfeiting drinks.
The occasion was at Zamfara Plaza, BBA Trade Fair Complex, along the Badagry Expressway, Ojo, Lagos State.
The Assistant Director of the Investigation and Enforcement Directorate of NAFDAC, Mr Kunle Ojo, who led the enforcement said the agency caught some of the suspects in the act and recovered drums, filters, packaging materials, a heating device and other equipment allegedly used in the illicit production process.
The suspects, identified as Okafor and John, were arrested during an enforcement operation in a two-storey building where equipment and materials allegedly used to repackage and produce counterfeit alcoholic and energy drinks where discovered.
The raid, according to NAFDAC, followed credible intelligence and surveillance on suspected counterfeiters operating within the Trade Fair International Market.
He warned that the circulation of counterfeit drinks posed a serious public health concern, urging suspected manufacturers to abandon the illegal trade.
