The Lagos State Police Command has successfully uncovered a clandestine factory producing counterfeit sachet water in the Oluwole Market area of Lagos.<\/p>\n
The fake products were being manufactured under a brand name registered with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), deceiving unsuspecting consumers.<\/p>\n
The Command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, announced the breakthrough on his official X handle, revealing that the suspect behind the operation has been apprehended and is currently in custody.<\/p>\n
Hundeyin commended the people of Lagos for providing the police with the information leading to the operation and for safeguarding the health of Lagosians.<\/p>\n
He posted, \u201cThank you, Lagosians, for giving us information and safeguarding the health of others.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese suspects fraudulently used the brand name and NAFDAC number of another sachet water producing company to produce their sachet water inside Oluwole Market, Apapa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in a video attached to the post, a suspected staff of the water factory with policemen displaying the manufactured sachets of water stored in the facility and also in a refrigerator within the facility.<\/p>\n
