The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC has arrested one Mr Anthony Chidi at Mile 3 Market, Diobu, Port Harcourt, for producing fake alcoholic beverages in unsanitary conditions.
In a statement that was released by the Agency the young man was caught inside a filthy shop washing used bottles of various alcoholic brands, which he refilled with unwholesome drinks for resale. During the raid, officials discovered dirty empty bottles, ethanol, bottle caps, and packaging materials.
The agency says Chidi admitted to running the illicit operation for about a year, sourcing labels from Aba and purchasing used bottles. NAFDAC evacuated the shop, confiscating all items found on site for further investigation.
