A former vice-chancellor, Benson Idahosa University (BIU), Prof. Ernest Izevbigie, has taken the Nigerian Breweries Plc. to a High Court in Benin City for alleged deception.

Izevbigie, a Professor of Biochemistry, accused the company of allegedly inscribing misleading information, “low sugar,” on the label of one of its non-alcoholic drinks, Amstel Malt.

The case, with suit number, B/281/2017, was filed at an Edo State High Court before the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Esohe Ikponmwen, through the claimant’s lawyer, Mr. Okonkwo Emmanuel of Henry Idahagbon and Co. (Trinity Chambers).

Izevbigie alleged that a laboratory investigation revealed that the product contained more sugar than the company claimed in the inscription of the brand.

He, therefore, prayed the court to order the company to tender a written apology because he had been injured by the alleged deception even as he claimed that the label was misleading to the public.

Izevbigie said that he had during a medical check-up discovered an increase in his blood sugar level, adding that he had traced the challenge to his regular intake of the malt drink.

During cross-examination by the counsel to the defendant, Mr. L. O. Ogiefere, Izevbigie told the court that Amstel Malt did not merit the “low sugar” label, according to clinical research.

According to him, the drink allegedly contained 10 cubes of sugar as against the 10 and a half to 10 one-quarter cubes contained in other malt drinks. The matter was later adjourned to June 28 for the defendant to opens its case.

Mumu man looking for where to make a quick out-of-court harvest.
How can a Nigerian VC not know that there is no consumer protection right in Nigeria?

He should not disturb us with his Diabetes woes.
Nigerian Breweries does not cause weak erection.

Next time, he should drink Dubic Malt mixed with Alomo Bitters.

Thank God people are asking questions now. Deception is too much in this country because no one actually care. Some of us don't even care about expiry dates.

The poster above me will summarize everything

"Time na money o time na money. Use your time well, do better tin.

Sir, please in the name of God, withdraw your case against Nigerian breweries and rather use the resourses to take Nigerian government to court for bad and deceptive government and also insecurity,poverty, Idoncarity.

Nigerian breweries is not the enemy,,,, rather its the Nigerian government..

Indeed he's fighting for a genuine course. Amstel Malta low sugar drink is a scam.
But we are in fantastically corrupt kwantry where things like this will be swept under the carpet.

Let's see how this case unfolds

Hmmmmm there's is difference nah
The normal maltina has more sugar while Malta Guinness is medium sugar and amstel Malta that one worse pass no sugar at all the the most annoying part is they all sell them #150

Like for Madrid

Lol! Good observation

Excellent man

good one. Did you know that most of the preservatives put in the so called SOFT DRINK are killing our body system softly.
Most of this companies can't try this poo in neighbouring African countries. That is why Ghana coke is different from naija coke, Ghana Milo is different from naija own.
Silly nafdac will only act after an international body does their homework for them

hmmmm. This is a first!!!! hmmmm. This is a first!!!!

Low sugar indeed

The ex-VC will loose. The malt actually contained lower amount of sugar than all other malts by a half cube or a quarter; so it is qualified to be called low sugar.

So, he did not see Buhari that swore to Allah that Abacha did not steal to sue?

Foolish man.

10 cubes against 10 cubes and a half or 10 cubes and a quarter. Lol
That means the half and quarter is what made Amstel Malt low sugar

Ok

God bless you, sir. you are a patriot that history will always remember

Those ones will come with English now.

So Malt drinks have at least 10 cubes of sugar I no dey take any malt brand again!

If true,clinical test should be done,and if right, NB should pay heavily.

This is misleading to the public

Good

He should as well sue NAFDAC too for not protecting Nigerians.

too bad for them to mislead general public
