The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a counterfeit alcohol production site on Offin Road, Balogun, Lagos Island, following a complaint.
The illegal shop was repurposed for producing and packaging fake alcoholic drinks, deceiving unsuspecting consumers in the area.
Various bottles of counterfeit products were destroyed on-site, while packaging materials, empty bottles, and repackaged drinks were seized.
The total value of the destroyed and confiscated items exceeds ₦30 million, highlighting the scale of the operation.
In recent weeks, NAFDAC has uncovered similar illegal operations in Ikeja and Apapa, with over ₦100 million in counterfeit goods seized.
NAFDAC has launched further investigations and urges consumers to buy alcohol only from reputable vendors.
The agency also advises reporting any suspicious products or activities to NAFDAC offices immediately.
