How Soludo Police Invaded, Looted My Factory--Anambra Based Businessman Cries Out

Mr Barnabas Alih, Managing Director of AliBan De Great Industries, Nkpor, a beverages manufacturing company, has petitioned the Police against alleged illegal invasion of his factory, by operatives of Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA) on Oct 10.

A copy of the petition addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Anambra Command.

Alih who spoke to Journalists at the factory at the weekend said the invaders who claimed to come from OCHA brigade stormed the factory without warrant or court order, destroyed the CCTV cameras and took away large quantity of products, generators and other valuables before sealing up the premises

He said nine workers on duties were forcefully taken away out of which two were freed while seven had been held hostage for three days in OCHA detention facility without prosecution.

Alih said his business was duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and all products approved and certified by the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) the Regulatory agencies in charge of his range of products.

He said effort to speak with the OCHA brigade officials but was not successful as they refused to talk to him and later confiscated the phones of those on duty because he was not in the factory.

He said his products were genuine with registered trademarks contrary to the claims of OCHA brigade in the social media that the factory was into manufacturing of fake and counterfeit products.

“The first thing they asked for was where the CCTV was, they destroyed it, disconnected the monitor to erase every trace before they started their action.

“I tried to speak to them on phone to know what was happening but they refused to talk to me because I was not around

“These people broke into my office, took my belongings, loaded cartons of drinks from my factory in about five vehicles, took away my Lister generator and a small generator and started asking my workers where my private vehicle was.

“My manager showed them the regulatory approval documents, they squeezed them and threw them away.

“As I am talking to you, I am not aware of our offense, I have called nafdac and they said they are not aware of the operation,” he said.

Alih said he was embarrassed by the illegal invasion of his business premises and that he was losing a lot of money as a result of the shutdown while his workers' human rights were being violated in illegal detention.

He called on the Nigerian Police to kindly effect immediate release of the innocent workers under captivity of OCHA Brigade and investigate their activities they lacked the powers to act as regulatory authority over manufacturers of beverages.

Also speaking, one of the workers who wished to be identified as Happiness said those who came for the operation ransacked the offices wand went away with valuables after they had drank the products to their satisfaction.

Happiness said “when they broke into they factory, they asked for my MD's whereabouts, broke into his office with a hammer, destroyed the CCTV cameras and started carrying our goods.

“They did not show us any documentation, they just said we lie faced down and carried seven of us to their office," he said.

Meanwhile, OCHA Brigade has owned up to carrying out the operation saying the factory was into production of fake beverages.

It said the operation was led by the Federal Government Presidential task force in collaboration with the Anambra State Government against economic sabotage and oil vandalism in the State”.

OCHA Brigade confirmed that Seven workers were in their custody.

Did you also read where it said the product was regulated and certified by nafdac and while we know that nafdac is the only regulated body that can probe them for questioning if they are into fake products?

You are a stupid deluded moronic slowpoke. And yes I am from the East but unfortunately and coincidentally;
your delusion and mental incapacity and faulty reasoning faculties radiates your ignorant hogwash so called state of mind that thinks that a former cbn governor and current state governor would be so jobless to be thinking of closing someone's factory unecessarily.
Your deficient snd defective sense of reasoning makes you think everyone is in the same depraved, unenlightened state of the mindset as You are

Some one is manufacturing fake drinks for people to take into their body and You want me to follow you to support him.because he is from my area. Foolish deluded unexposed Lycantrope
