Good for us, Nigerians. When they ask us to Buy Nigeria to save the Naira, we would bat no eye to such campaign.
Imagine if the fishes were local species bought from our farmers who raised them, we could not have been exposed to such risks. Because we would be the ones to kill the fishes by ourselves, hence, wholesome nutrition.
Many of those iced fishes were actually killed on the high seas since God knows when then frozen, packaged and sold to us looking fresh.

Nigeria, the investment capital of the world. Everybody running to sell and invest in something in Nigeria while Nigerians buy into it all without really understanding the low lifes out there waiting to cash in on deceptively selling people refuse as food. All for profit over Nigerian people they have conceit for anyway. shocked

The staff of the company that alerted the police should be commended. He has saved thousands of Nigerians from eating expired fish which is dangerous to their health. i have worked in an Indian company before, few are good while majority are dubious, greedy and self centered.The Lagos state govt and the concerned regulatory authorities should make sure that the management of the company and their collaborators face the full wrath of the law for putting Nigerians in harms way.

But the fish will expire in March. I blame them for trying to play a fast one by changing the labels. They just revealed their criminal intention, however the fish hasn't expired so they can argue that.

That staff of the company who blew the whistle leading to the storming and sealing up of the Indian fish company deserves an award. The Lagos State Governor should honour him/her. This is what it takes to be a good citizen. Imagine the havoc this could have caused to people's health.

A lot of Indians are idol worshipers so they have no conscience. GEJ also created a fertile ground for them to operate in Nigeria during his buffonic reign as president.

Do you mean Nigerian lives? They cannot try that anywhere in the world, they know here, they can get away with many things, since everything the regulators understand is money.

Hi everyone, there's an opportunity to learn how to make fruit juice here in Vietnam from a reputable university. The fees is quite affordable and the visa procurement is cheap and fast. This is what Nigerians need in this time of harsh economic downturn to secure a better future. It's better to invest in skill acquisition programmes and be sure of employment tomorrow than to spend years in the university and roam the street. The interested person should contact Mr Kenneth with the this number: +84902856282 or lifegoalministries@.com. The course will start at the middle of March 2016.

This has been their practice for long, there's a store in Alaba Mile2 called Popular Fishing or something like that (formally Stallion Fishing Company) this is what they do on a regular basis. Back then, there was a man called Kollington from Ibadan he's an expert in buying expired frozen fish from this company.

A sane person knows that the intention to change the unexpired date to a later date makes their intention of giving an expired food for human consumption.
Re: Lagos Seizes Expired Fish From Indian Company by PurestBoy(m): 11:07am On Feb 18, 2016
That's premium sea food, Haano company, we buy fish from them. We still bought 600 cartoons of Alar an Blue whiting 30kg and Oshawa square 550 cartons for my uncle's depot. The fishes were spoilt and led us into loss but thank God we pay after selling so we asked them to come and load back their spoilt fishes or reduce the price so we can sell it cheaply too. Indians cannot be trusted when it comes to business and ur police know all these but they (Indians) bribe them heavily to keep shut.

You no lie bro, Kolly Eleja is our main rival in Ibadan and has taken most of our customers because the expired fish he sells cheaply. They call it "rough"

Will someone tell me that these cartons of fishes were smuggled through our porous borders? If not, how come products like these pass through customs clearance without proper check. There's something fishy.

If nigeria can stop importation things of this nature will not happen. Indian sometimes ago, placed on embargo on importation that, all of her citizen must use made in india products which really worked for them. Now they are exporting expired fish to naija simply because we can't place an embargo on importation. All I know is we will survive this difficult period.

You don't understand, the origin of these fishes are Russia and Norway and Indians are just buying to sell to us, out waters don't breed those types of fishes besides we don't have the necessary facilities to freeze and package them especially electricity. So you can see how backward we are!

How do they intend to sell off 700 million naira worth of fish within a month?


These Indians/Lebanese are the real economic drivers of Lagos. They own many of the big businesses and the hospitality industry. However, poor oversight and fat bribes have allowed them run roughshod over us.

Highly possible bro, depot owners all over the country buy from them, we stock an average of 15m worth of fish monthly.

Operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command and officials of the State Ministry of Health on Tuesday sealed off a fish depot for warehousing expired fish at Oba Akran Road, Ikeja, Lagos.
The depot, belonging to an Indian company, Premier Fish Product Limited, allegedly stored​ over N700​ ​million worth of expired fish.
The company had been under surveillance for about two weeks, the police said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The lid was finally blown yesterday by the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, following a tip off from sources that the company was revalidating the expiry dates of the stock,” the police statement said.‎
The Lagos State health officials on Tuesday inspected four cold rooms of the company containing several tons of fish before sealing off the company.
An environmental health officer, Kuforiji Adebayo, who led officials from the Ministry of Health, said the state government was sealing off the cold room to pave way for thorough laboratory test of the fish found in the cold room.
“This place is being sealed off for health analysis,” Mr. Adebayo said.
“The samples of the consignment being taken are for laboratory analysis. What we have met on ground physically is highly suggestive of the fact that there are questionable practices here as most of the fish has expired.
“What we have established here is a deceit and fraudulent activity,” he said.
Mr. Adebayo also said they discovered the company was revalidating the expiry date of its products.‎
‎”What we have seen indicates the condition of the fish was not okay before being frozen. That is why there are blood stains in the cartoon of the fish.
“If the labels are being changed now, the impression it leaves is that the labels might have been changed before the investigations,” he said.
The company management, however, insisted it was not revalidating its products’ expiry dates, adding that the products – which are to expire in March 2016 – would be sold off before expiry date.
According to the depot manager, Sabir Alli, the stickers that littered the corridor to the cold rooms fell off because of the shifting of fish cartoons to create space for accommodation of new consignment.
The spokesperson of Lagos State Police Command, Dolapo Badmus, confirmed the incident, saying a staff of the company alerted the police of the development.
“We got a call that they were revalidating the products yesterday and we decided to swing into action.
“This was confirmed by a lot of the stickers found in the lobby with March 2016 as expiry date,” said Ms. Badmus.

And as usual the, the investigations end there and the criminals never prosecuted. If a Nigerian did that, he will be on network news.
