The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a large haul of fake wine and soft drinks in Abia State.
This was contained in a press statement released by the agency via its verified X(formerly Twitter), adding that the agency discovered major brands were cloned by the arrested syndicate in an operation that involved over 240 shops-turned-factories.
The statement reads: “In a major operation, NAFDAC has dismantled a large-scale counterfeit beverage syndicate operating in Eziukwu Market, Aba, Abia State.
“Acting on intelligence, the Agency collaborated with security forces to conduct a sting operation, uncovering illicit activities spanning various brands, including Seaman Schnapps, Henessy, Four Cousins, Martell, Black Label, Campari, and more.
“Over 240 shops-turned-factories were raided, revealing filthy conditions, the use of unhygienic water, harmful chemicals, and cloned packaging materials.
“The counterfeiters engaged in date revalidation for expired products like Peak milk, ketchup, and Coca-Cola products, posing severe health risks to unsuspecting consumers.
“The shutdown of the entire market was enforced until stakeholders committed to preventing such activities.
“The operation resulted in the destruction of 1,500 cartons of fake products, valued at over N750 million, and the evacuation of 300 cartons to NAFDAC's warehouse.”
The statement added that “Ten individuals were arrested and will face charges after a thorough investigation.”
The statement continued: “NAFDAC emphasizes the health hazards of consuming adulterated alcohol, urging vigilance during the festive season, and advising consumers to scrutinize the "4 Ps" - Place, Price, Packaging, and Product - before purchasing alcohol.
“Prof. Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye, the @DGatNAFDAC, reaffirmed the Agency's commitment to eradicating counterfeit products nationwide and urged the public to report suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.”

You are wasting time on a perpetual old foool. Rumor has it that he got burnt on the NSE and now resurfaces to gloat about the dollar rates. It's the only way he can be happy.
Do what others on the thread do and ignore him. 🚶♂️
How can a tribe renowned for their educational achievements that produce the country's only Nobel Laureate still give us Oluomo, this thing, and similar others Why is thuggery such a culture in a noble tribe like the Yorubas? I am among those who envy the Yoruba tribe for their exploits but later events is making me have a serious rethink. God!

Balderdash.
Are you fantasizing about the cock? Why this description
Leggodeals: But CeeC isn't just "vile and obnoxious" She has been a jolly fellow and for the most part on this show we have seen her befriend her housemates, have fun and mingle unlike her lonely personality in the past. How come you guys overlook the 80% good that CeeC has showcased so far for her 20% weakness? How come CeeC can be cool and fun for 9days but the 1 day she quarrels is enough for some of you to start questioning her fans? Her fans choose to see the whole picture but you don't want to. You want to mirror her through her past. And that's fine if it works for your favorites but asking others why they support her, is giving disrespect and disregard for people's choice to be sensitive enough to give a human a chance in life.
CeeC is a human like everyone. I didn't Stan her in her set but I've seen tremendous growth I won't lie. I don't expect her to be perfect, her weaknesses would still bud sometimes but I'm seeing a woman who has chosen to do it differently this time.
May the God you serve bless you. Everyone in that house can fight with no issues but if it's CeeC, they start mentioning "2018," "Tobi," "Bitterleaf" etc. Doyin once told CeeC that she was sure her fans would not like the new her because she has changed into a peaceful person. That same Doyin has been going round to call her toxic. Other people can be given allowance to grow but not CeeC. She has to be condemned and constantly reminded of her past. That is their strategy but no matter what, Cynthia will not shrink herself for any baga.
Cross the retard had the guts to say CeeC has a dark heart. The same CeeC that has been there for him in that house. This same "golden-heart" Cross has no issues throwing his friends under the bus. Kai, my girl has suffered.
CeeC said no more peace and light. So if your fave is battling with mental health, now is a good time for them to seek voluntary exit. Make I go work🚶♂️🚶♂️
ultraviolet27: Anything CeeCee dey always make your clits vibrates no be she say mk your Olosho fave no get self control nah CeeCee will always be right since Your Saint Black Mamba is always right in your 👁️ eyes too!;
