EFCC: Illegal Electrical Wire Counterfeiting In Kubwa Abuja by 1srPrince: 2:43pm On Jun 24, 2015

Dear EFCC,

There is perception that The Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) is not doing anything to curb the proliferation of fake goods especially electrical items and that the DG of SON, Dr. Joseph Odumodu, is only paying lip service to fight against fake goods in the country.
Despite several report in writing, by e-mail and/or through their website; they have fail to investigate any of the reports since 2014. Hence, the importation and selling counterfeit electrical product is on the rise.

The greatest challenge to citizen giving info is the fear of reprisal attack and even assassination by the fake goods baron when the SON relay info to the criminal of the identity of the whistle-blower. Hence the influx of fake product into the market. Next time you buy Electrical product you might be purchasing one of these fake items.

Take for example an often reported case since 2014 of electrical wire counterfeiter in Abuja. Yet no action has been taken.
Block E, Moonwalk Estate (Century 21 Estate , located opposite Metro College and Stamford Hotel), FCDA Quarters, Kubwa, Abuja
They bring in substandard electric cable in trailer load in the night and use the advantage of a nondescript residential area as cover to carry out their nefarious activity. They resize the cable and repackage them, using the original cable wrap of electrical cable manufacturers like NOCACO, Cutix, NIWIL etc before dumping them in the local Nigerian market; hence the increasing difficulty of the undiscerning masses to differentiate the the real from the fake, resulting in fire incidence on building via electrical fault and its attendant loss of lives and properties.


Your compatriot,
Prince
Abuja
