The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has apprehended one Anthony Chidi for producing counterfeit alcoholic beverages in unsanitary conditions.
In a Wednesday post on X, NAFDAC said the suspect was nabbed at Mile 3 Market, Diobu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The agency said Chidi 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
“Chidi admitted to running the illicit operation for about a year, sourcing labels from Aba and purchasing used bottles,” the post reads in part.
The agency said its officials evacuated the shop and confiscated all items found on site for further investigation.
