Court Orders NAFDAC To Compel Nigerian Bottling Company To Warn Consumers Of Dangers Of Drinking Fanta, Sprite With Vitamin C.

In the judgment given by Justice Adedayo Oyebanji, the court awarded a cost of N2 million against NAFDAC.
BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORKMAR 13, 2017

A Lagos High Court sitting at Igbosere has ordered the National Agency For Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to order the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Plc to put a written warning on Fanta and Sprite bottles stating that both soft drinks are poisonous when consumed along with Vitamin C.


The court also held that NAFDAC failed Nigerians by declaring, as fit for human consumption, products discovered by tests in the United Kingdom as turning poisonous when mixed with ascorbic acid (popularly known as Vitamin C).

In the judgment given by Justice Adedayo Oyebanji, the court awarded a cost of N2 million against NAFDAC. The judgment was the outcome of a suit filed by a Lagos-based businessman, Dr. Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo, and his company, Fijabi Adebo Holdings Limited, against NBC Plc and NAFDAC.

Mr. Adebo, in the suit, urged the court to declare that NBC was negligent to its consumers by bottling Fanta and Sprite with excessive levels of benzoic acid and sunset additives.

The businessman also urged the court to order NAFDAC to carry out routine laboratory tests on all the soft drinks and related products NBC bottles to ensure their safety for consumption.

In the amended statement of claims filed before the court by Mr. Abiodun Onidare on behalf of Mr. Adebo and his company, it was alleged that in March 2007, Fijabi Adebo Holdings Company bought large quantities of Coca-Cola, Fanta Orange, Sprite, Fanta Lemon, Fanta Pineapple and soda water from NBC for export to and subsequent retail in the United Kingdom.

But when the consignment arrived in the United Kingdom, health authorities in that country, precisely the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council's Trading Standard, Department of Environment and Economy Directorate, raised fundamental health issues on the contents and composition of Fanta and Sprite.

Findings by the United Kingdom health authorities were also corroborated by other agencies in European Union countries, which found the products to contain excessive levels of sunset yellow and benzoic acid, which are known to be carcinogenic.

On account of the irregularities and carcinogenic substances present in the drinks, Mr. Adebo and his company could not sell the Fanta and Sprite. This caused huge losses for the company, as the products were seized and destroyed by the United Kingdom health authorities.

The claimants equally alleged that NAFDAC did not carry out requisite tests to determine the safety of the drinks for human consumption. They averred that being registered as exporters with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, they could legally export NBC products to any part of the world and that the bottling company was aware that the products purchased were meant for export.

In addition to other reliefs, Mr. Adebo and his company sought the sum of N15,119,619.37 as special damages and N1,622,000 being the money NBC admitted receiving from the claimants.

In its amended statement of defense, filed before the court by Mr. T. O. Busari, NBC admitted supplying the products, but contended that they are meant for local distribution and consumption, as it does not produce for export. It argued that Coca-Cola is manufactured and bottled by various Coca-Cola franchise holders in most countries of the world, including the United Kingdom.

The company denied that it was negligent, as it has stringent quality control procedures to ensure that its products are safe for end-user consumption.

NBC also rejected the allegation that the damages claimed by the businessman and his firm were caused by negligence or any fault on its part. It argued that the levels of the chemical components in its soft drinks are safe for consumption in Nigeria and that the claimants are not entitled to the recovery of damages arising from their illegal exportation of products meant for local distribution.

NBC further contended that the claims made by Mr. Adebo and his company were speculative, frivolous and vexatious and should be dismissed with substantial cost. NAFDAC did not file any defense.

To prove his case, Mr. Adebo personally testified. While being led in evidence by Mr. Onidare, he tendered 12 exhibits. NBC's Sales Operation Manager, Mr. Micheal Nwosu China, and its Head of Central Laboratory, Mr. Abiodun Adeola Falana, both testified on the bottling company's behalf and also tendered 12 exhibits.

In her judgment, Justice Oyebanji said: “It is imperative to state that the knowledge of the Nigeria Bottling Company that the products were to be exported is immaterial to its being fit for human consumption. The court is in absolute agreement with the learned counsel for the claimants that soft drinks manufactured by Nigeria bottling company ought to be fit for human consumption irrespective of color or creed.

“It is manifest that NAFDAC has been grossly irresponsible in its regulatory duties to the consumers of Fanta and Sprite manufactured by Nigeria Bottling Company. In my respective view, NAFDAC has failed the citizens of this great nation by its certification as satisfactory for human consumption products, which in the United Kingdom failed sample test for human consumption, and which become poisonous in the presence of Ascorbic Acid ordinarily known as Vitamin C, which can be freely taken by the unsuspecting public with the company's Fanta or Sprite.

“As earlier stated, the court is in absolute agreement with the learned counsel for the claimants that consumable products ought to be fit for human consumption irrespective of race, colour or creed.”

Justice Oyebanji also held that by its certification as satisfactory, Fanta and Sprite, without any written warning on the products that it cannot be taken with Vitamin C, NAFDAC would have caused great harm to the health of unsuspecting Nigerians.

“The court, in the light of the damning evidence before it showing that NAFDAC has failed to live up to expectation, cannot close its eyes to the grievous implication of allowing the status quo to continue as it is.

“For the reasons herein adumbrated in this judgment, the court hereby orders as follows :

“That NAFDAC shall forthwith mandate Nigeria bottling company to, within 90 days hereof, include on all the bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks manufactured by the company, a written warning that the content of the said bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks cannot be taken with Vitamin C as same becomes poisonous if taken with Vitamin C.

“In consideration of the fact that this case was filed in 2008 and that it has been in court for nine years, costs of N2 million is awarded against NAFDAC. Interest shall be paid on the costs awarded at the rate of 10% per annum until liquidation of the said sum,” [truncated by WhatsApp]

Very simple then, all you have to do is use another plate number to check and see if the name is there in the source code page.

Plus why will Lagos state government hide such, or are you suggesting that they may be trying to cover up for the preacher....

Anyway, just try it and see..........

Is it a new thing? Did Lagos state government not protect/cover tb joshua from manslaughter prosecution, for d death of over 100 people when a building collapsed in his chur h few yrs ago?
While at same time prosecuting d Md of Lekki gardens for a similar offence (over 30 lives lost). A clear case of selective justice by d Lagos state govt in favour of d powerful tbj.
With money & connection, impossible is nothing in naija.

uboma:
What a way to end your career, Apostle Suleiman.

I only pity his wife because she has chosen to live in self denial.

End which career? For dis naija, forget it! D sheeple are too gullible to dare use their brain. I can assure u nothing g will happen, just like d ESE Walters n coza pastor case , everything will die down without d licki licki apostate apologising or accepting. He go just bone, say do ur worst, my sheeple remain loyal!

SmartMugu:
I still don't understand why the police should be involved. Is this a criminal case or a civil case? Why should police spend resources to investigate a case that won't lead to an arrest and subsequent conviction? If she claimed he raped her, I'd understand.

Ur moniker tho, paradoxically ironic! Mugu is more befitting to u n ur ilk IMO.

AshawoGirl:

God help u,u can continue

D years doesn't matter, 2014 is just 3yrs ago by d way. Ever heard of Bill Cosby? I'm sure there many more of his victims out there, too scared to com out wit their stories. Apostle licky licky

Babytruth:
I had a problem I was desperate to solve, I took his number from his book and texted him after his crusade I attended, after a few days he began to reply my messages, he was extremely pleasant, he sounded so caring, humble , that I was doubting if I was really talking with apostle Johnson Suleman, our initial communication was thru text message, he sounded so sweet,like someone who knows me and already falling for me, and I took him as a father, cos he gave me that sense of belonging,
it wasnt up to a week ,he began calling me on phone with his real phone number, sounding like a new lover, then he sent me a shocking text message " WANNA WATCH YOU COME" " I AM 100% STUD" then I stopped replying his messages , but he started querying me, calling me, coming more closer to me just like a man who really wanted a woman, then he gave me a money gift, and invited me to his Church, I came for the fire night in Auchi , he gave me back my transport, and I went back to my state, slowly we were melting in love with each other, he called me from home and abroad, he told me he wanted stability, and after we made love, I started falling in love with him cos it was a steamy sweet sex, but I soon started telling him I wa noted to make a choice out of my single suitors, he went mad at me and warned me not to mention any man when I talk to him again, he started fuming and withdrawing from me, I kept my cool,so I focused on my career goals, after sometimes, we got talking again, he began to propose to me , I knew he loved me, when I come to Auchi headquarters during church programs he is usually very very happy,and he can't hold himself from coming to stand around me, and that's where Eliza his wife started to know my face, once he held a crusade at abuja , I attended, he saw me and he was just soooo joyous, even told everyone he is feeling at home, he didn't preach but prophecied ,I call him dady, he calls me my daughter, but the love between us was so shocking, johnson couldnt hide his feelings for me in the church,until Lizzy stepped into the picture, everything changed , I told him I was taking a break from him and the church, that was where our problems began from,, he was really hurt,, pls let me stop this love story OK.,, I know Johnson is a sweet guy but he is very very wicked, if he could turn around and try to kill me for leaving him… even projected something into my womb to make me look like a married woman , threatening me that I can't succeed or marry any man and that no man of God can help me cos I hurt him...... forgetting that I am saving my head and all the time I suffered from his spiritual attacks he never cared, only in 2016 he was trying to send me a message or so. its ok

This is serious! I'll advise u go to festus keyamo wit your story n get proper legal advise. You've suffered enough. That's d only way to guarantee ur security, n u deserve compensation for all he put u thru

Babytruth:
Liar, I am speaking with festus keyamo, Stephanie didn't confess lies, instead she said Lizzy should go and read her bible and check if this is not a punishment from God.
Secondly I want to advise all you that think Apostle johnson Suleiman is innocent, please that mam is a great danger to our Young girls, he would give you hundreds of thousand to sex you and collect your whole success and destiny, some may even die after 3 months of sexing him.
Festus has been urging me o come out and speak out for the whole world to hear, if Apostle's supporters who write rubbish pushes me to the wall, I will step out and challenge that idiot money ritualist with his power text messages with me. at least it was only 2014 we broke up! As Far as God lives, Johnson Suleiman must be humbled and properly disgraced cos my God is punishing him.

You'll do those young girls a lot of good if u com out with your story now, don't be afraid, evil thrive in d silence of good. Meet wit ur lawyers for better advise, cheers.

There is a C-Number on your customs paper. Copy it out and take it to the nearest Customs office and have it checked.


They charge you about 3k for it though, to verify if the duty is genuine or not.

What of those of us that lost our custom papers, how do we go about it?

Tokziby:

goodnews777:
Her kaduna mafia pay masters are looking for a good videographer to put together a fake video. This is what has been the enemy of Christianity . Money. Granted she is a toronto hooker, but for someone with a christian name taking a few thousand dollars from northern fanatics to tarnish an innocent mans name for refusing to give her more money is ridiculous. God has to show up in this case once and for all because her drug infested brain is dead. Why does,t the nigerian security operatives ask about the case file of this girl in Toronto.
NIGERIANS in Toronto say they are in total disbelief that any sane man will listen to a drug addict but NIGERIANS are gullible . The only reason el Rufai is using her is because she is a drug addict. It's an abuse because her dad has appealed to all to understand that she is a psycho.
Why are people still interviewing her? Once and for all folks this girl is mentally challenged.was in Italy a prostitute for 2 years. Used her friends passport to travel to Toronto where she claimed refugee status claiming that she escaped from her husband who is a chief that wanted to use her for juju and circumcision ceremony. It was foolishly approved but she went into drugs ,stripping and fraud. She has been to jail for fraud a number of times. Friends stop wasting time on this girl.

Why cry louder than d berived? Let d accused defend himself. She gave evidences that shld be Investigated; bank transfers, passport stamp.etc
How did u even get all these info bout her? Abi u be d apostle PA? Why not back ur accusations with proof?

diva90:
I'm not surprised. Pple who know know! This actress used that her big yansh to build house in lekki, buy Range Rover, G wagon and countless designers. She's also known to shag popular rich politicians... Or do you think that her 300k per movie role brought her all that wealth? Most of these actresses are big time runs girls. I cannot even imagine how many actresses slept with suleiman because I am sure it is not just this actress.
All his church Pple have seen where their tithes were going now...

No wonder actresses keep buying luxury cars & houses while their male counterpart are dieing of illness or broke

Back to you and all yours infinitely. Every other thing you do or say against me from now meets you and all yours with double destruction. AMEN

kaykay1980:
The Festus Keyamo Chambers in Lagos today warned Apostle Johnson Suleman, Pastor and General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, to prepare for war over Stephanie Otobo, who kicked off a firestorm recently when she alleged an amorous relationship with him. Among others, the law firm said today in a press statement that not only does it have graphic proof of the pastor’s relationship with Ms. Otobo, but that other “unfortunate victims” of his have come forward and are also itching to tell their story, with proofs.

Film won start, where my coke n pop corn? My prediction: d apostle will soon call keyamo for out of court settlement when he sees d evidence that can ruin his career.

gazilion:
when and where did COZA pastor do that? The last I heard was for a coming "robust reply". I am not saying he is guilty either because I've not seen any public statement from him denying or accepting the allegations.

I believe Apostle Johnson Suleiman is innocent!
The devil may fight dirty but that does not stop us from enforcing our victory.
THE CHURCH ALWAYS CONQUERS!!

Mugu spotted!
