NAFDAC Seizes Counterfeit Alcoholic Beverage Packaging Materials Worth Over ₦200 Million in Aba

Today, NAFDAC, acting on credible intelligence, raided five shops at Old Court Road Market, Aba, Abia State, suspected of producing and supplying counterfeit packaging materials for popular alcoholic beverages and other products.

The operation uncovered counterfeit labels, corks, packs and outer packaging materials bearing the names of several brands, including Jameson, Glenfiddich, Four Cousins, Lord’s Dry Gin, Imperial Blue, Goya Oil, Chelsea, Squadron and Seaman’s Aromatic Schnapps. The packaging materials seized were estimated to be worth over ₦200 million.

During the operation, NAFDAC’s Investigation & Enforcement operatives encountered threats and resistance from traders, making the evacuation of the seized materials challenging. The owners of the five shops were absent, and the premises were placed on hold to prevent interference with the items remaining inside.

NAFDAC issued an invitation to the Market Union Chairman, who pledged to ensure the security of the sealed premises and assist the Agency in identifying and presenting the shop owners.

These people will never learn

Dang!

There’s no difference between Bandit & people producing fake things. Infact, people producing fake things are worst than any criminal! Imagine packaging poison for people, just the same way they’ve been packaging that fraud & failed governor for Nigerians..

We might need to expand the Chinese further. I’ll always place people who value lives over money than money over lives. The Chinese won’t sell fake & they’ll still sell cheap!

A win-win situation for consumers!

There’s no different between Bandit & people consuming fake things..

They are worse than bandits.
People that are making fake baby formula (baby food).
In addition, these fake food/drink producers are mass murderers.

In all honesty I fear for all of us

The sheer number of fake and counterfeit food and drugs out there is humongous

Please put them behind bars for a very long time.

Selling adulterated products is worse than murder and should be treated as such.


And all of you neck-deep in this evil business reading this - wherever you are, Lagos Trade Fair, Ogun, Onitsha or Owerri, your days are numbered.

Wherever you are, you will pay!

Nafdac needs to do way more

There is a popular yoghurt that I have stopped buying because the taste have changed

Simply put watch what you drink and eat.

Hmmmm, the only way out now is to restrict ourselves to drinking only clean water. Nothing is safe for drinking anymore in Nigeria, apart from water. Last week, I was at Garki Hospital, and the number of people I saw in their dialysis ward got me really scared.

Imagine using your own money to buy problem for yourself

Should we even talk about the fake drugs out there

Someone due to the hardship would save money to buy drugs only for it to be fake

Someone would be out there making blood money from people's misery

These people should be treated the way murders are treated because that is exactly what they are doing

Mass murdering


The hygienic conditions of the place is always poor

What I dont really like is how Nigerian government handle these fake product merchants when caught even in the act


Please make it a death sentence once caught, and expedite their execution by firing squad or hanging or lethal injection


If Nigerian government truly wants to reduce crime in Nigeria and make Nigerians to be scared of committing crimes, then government must go harder in punishing offenders when caught.


Execute anybody caught in the below crimes within one month maximum:


1.) Fake drug/medicine or drink or beverage production

2.) Money rituals - anyone caught should be executed immediately

3.) Kidnappers no matter how small, execute him or her straight!

4.) Terrorism, banditry, herdsmen attacking farming communities

5.) Armed robbery of any kind

6.) Stealing or looting government or public funds more than 100million Naira, execute without delay.


7.) Rape of minors

8.) Cultism - once caught and confirmed, execute the idiaaat immediately without delay




Establish special crime court with a mandate that no case should exceed 30 days and once the special court Judge pronounces you guilty of any of the above crimes, within 7 days, the victim will be executed without appeal and no state Governor needs to sign the death warrants.


If you are court red handed in the crime, no appeal will be welcomed, but if you were caught through leads and not red-handed in action, you have right to appeal once and both appeal must not pass 50 days.



This is the only way to curb and end these crimes in Nigeria, anything else is just childsplay. We must not follow western countries and their yeye slow and weak crime punishment style, we need to go hard and unique with our own crime punishment based on our unique situation and to savage our nation dying before our own very eyes.



I wished Nigerians can vote me in as President and see how I will sanitize Nigeria in less than 4 years

It is not just to seize.
It is to ensure justice.
It is to apprehend and prosecute with severity making an example of the criminals that will be a deterrent.

Punishments for these sort of things should be at least at par with those for manslaughter because that is exactly where the story will have ended, someone losing his life.

I sure hope there will be a follow up story on this matter to ensure the criminals ate indeed caught.

Wahala for people when dey take alcohol

They are worse, they counterfeit anything at least bandits still dey pity women and children sometimes

Tinubu government is too weak. This can't happen in many African countries or Asia, It is a death sentence straight. Tinubu supposed employ enough of youths and professionals to join nafdac in fighting these demons called business men, just like ndlea and create special court to fasten the jail of these useless people, at least life year imprisonment.

If I am the president, I will make sure I feed them with their products before trial until it finishes, to taste part of their wickedness.
They won't stop soonest. Yet they will be claiming developers and contributors to national economy. If e sure for you, create your own brand, get approval from nafdac and compete.
That's why I fear a certain candidate if he enters as a president, the way these people will go berserk on manufacturing fake products without impunity will be too alarming more than this. Unarmed killers.

That is where we are headed, a total collapse of the food and beverages sector. If no single product in the market is valid then the whole system collapses.

I think genuine manufacturers have a serious role to play in being on the frontline of this war (if. indeed we are fighting) by supplying Intel to the authorities because they will know when their products are being copied and will have an idea where this is being done through their distribution chains.

And if any regulatory official is found to leak information the criminals, they should face the severest of penalties because the big syndicates will certainly have moles in the halls of authority.

Mehn! These people una dey really try

Please, you guys should not kill me oh! I used to drink most of these stuff including the type of alcohol that were seized at trade fair.
What are the odds I haven't tasted these fake drinks now?

Chai 🥲

Government Dey do their own wickedness… we the common masses too still Dey wicked ourselves… na only Bandits we Dey see wey dey take lives… but some devils are silently killing Nigerians everyday! I just Dey wonder the planet the government wey fit eradicate and transform this entity called Nigeria go come from

At this point, it is no more deniable that a particular section of the country has chosen to make itself a huge danger to the rest of us. They not only encourage such wickedness, but also resist whenever NAFDAC tries to stop them. All this was going on and not one person bothered to expose what they were doing.

It is not only alcohol, it is everything food and beverages. Once it becomes popular it becomes a target to these criminals. Nothing in the market is immune, even water.

Why why why?

In Aba almost everything is counterfeit.

Drugs, drinks, canned foods, etc. Just name it.

When the listed affected companies could not cope again and announce their departure from Nigeria, they will be the same people blaming the government for spoiling the economy.

And we wonder why there's an increase in kidney diseases and all other sorts.

This is wickedness in the highest order

This people can kill themselves if they like

Make we nor Dey deceive ourselves abeg… these evil cut across this whole naija. Every regions get their own kind of wickedness Dey contribute
