Operatives of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) have uncovered an illegal production site for counterfeit alcoholic beverages on Lagos Island.
Gatekeepers News reports that the agency, in a statement on Monday, said its team, acting on a complaint, discovered a shop repurposed for producing and packaging fake alcoholic drinks on Offin Road in the Balogun area of Lagos Island.
“Assorted bottles of the offending products were destroyed on-site, while packaging materials, empty bottles, and repackaged drinks were confiscated,” the statement reads.
“The estimated value of the destroyed and seized items exceeds N30 million.
“NAFDAC has initiated further investigations and advises consumers to buy alcoholic beverages only from reputable vendors and to report any suspicious products and activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.”
