The Police in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, have arrested two persons in possession of fake drinks.
Although the details of the arrest are still sketchy, the Command’s spokesperson SP Benjamin Hundeyin who disclosed the arrest in a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, gave the names of the suspects as Imo Lawrence ‘m’ aged 35 and Magnus Nwonka ‘m’ aged 42.
Hundeyin said that the suspects were arrested by officers of the Ojo Division of the command on Wednesday.
The police spokesperson said in the course of the investigation, the suspects led detectives to their “inconspicuous, multi-room ‘factory’, adding that the “investigation is ongoing.”
Recall, that it was reported on December 18, that the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) uncovered a large haul of fake wine and soft drinks in Abia State.
The agency which disclosed this in a statement said it discovered major brands cloned by the arrested syndicate in an operation that involved over 240 shops-turned-factories.
