Just because the next in line to Egbetokun is Frank Mba, an Igbo man, Tinubu arranged a Kangaroo Bill to his rubber stamp NASS to keep Egbetokun for 4 years and prevent Igbo man from becoming IGP.

But if Egbetokun is allowed to stay 4 more years after retirement, then all his coursemate should also stay 4 years with him.

And nobody below him must retire while he’s still in active duty.

If not make Egbetokun get out.

Counterfeiting in any part of the world, is not commonplace.
It is usually coded.

There are task force in all these big markets...they have the mandate to search and report these activities...not a fellow trader that came to sell his own market in his own store.
Market of about a thousand shops, how will the trader in Line A, know what's happening in Line Z....at most, you'll know most of those selling in your Line or those in the same trade.
You can be in that market for 10yrs, yet you'll have no business with someone in another line.

Imagine Tradefair market in Lagos, Aspamda and Balogun or the different state blocks are finely differentiated but they are all in same trade fair market.
How is it the trader's fault for not blowing the whistle...?
Infact, even these raids ate usually from Intel gotten from same traders.

NAFDAC is correct for sealing the whole market, to search everywhere, but don't blame the traders or say they a culprit in the offence.
And Peter Obi shouldn't be meddling in everything.
Nafdac didn't seal the place forever...but their work has to be expedited and within a reasonable time frame.
If they need more hands, let them outsource adhoc task force.
