After the raid and arrest, NAFDAC’s director of South East Zone, Martins Iluyomade, said yesterday that the suspects were already in custody and would be charged in court after an ongoing investigation.
He said the raid was in furtherance of NAFDAC’s mandate to safeguard the nation’s health and rid the South East of unwholesome, substandard, fake, and adulterated products.
“We stormed the popular Ogbete Main Market, Enugu in Enugu State since Friday and have shut down 100 shops which have been identified for selling fake alcoholic beverages.
“Arrests were made, and the suspects are currently in custody. This fake wine and alcoholic beverages are being sold to unsuspected customers and the general public, but we are determined to rid the market of these unwholesome products,” he said.
