The National Agency For Food And Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has busted some companies producing fake brands of alcohol at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos.

In a statement on Thursday, the agency said its investigation and enforcement directorate, acting on “credible intelligence”, discovered the facilities operating within shop 34, shop 17/24, and attachment 17/2 in the Niger 4 Plaza of the complex.

NAFDAC said its operatives found “mini plastic mixing tanks, improvised filters, cartons of empty bottles with intact labels, corks, packaging materials, and assorted already produced and packaged drinks”.

“Over 3,452 cartons of empty and filled bottles, valued at over two hundred and fifty million naira (₦250 million), were seized and evacuated from the location,” the statement reads.
