Operatives from the Investigation and Enforcement (I&E) Directorate of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) have dismantled an extensive fake alcoholic beverage manufacturing ring operating within the Zamfara Plaza at the BBA Trade Fair Complex, situated along the Badagry Expressway in Ojo, Lagos State.
The regulatory authority revealed that the raid was launched following credible intelligence reports, leading officers to over 20 clandestine facilities operating covertly inside makeshift storage areas throughout the commercial plaza.
During the enforcement exercise, NAFDAC personnel caught several individuals actively blending and packaging counterfeit versions of high-demand liquor brands, altering expiration dates on contaminated drinks for public distribution, and warehousing prohibited foreign products.
Security forces arrested two key suspects on-site, while enforcement teams confiscated and evacuated counterfeit goods with an estimated market value exceeding ₦2 billion.
NAFDAC reiterated its commitment to consumer safety and advised the public to stay alert to illicit operations, encouraging citizens to report dubious manufacturing or distribution hubs via its dedicated toll-free helpline: 0800-1-NAFDAC (0800-1-623322).
