The operatives of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control have uncovered a suspected counterfeit production facility at Zamfara Plaza, BBA Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.
The facility was allegedly used to relabel expired drinks, including Bullet Energy Drink, Don Julio tequila and Jameson whiskey.
Two men were arrested at the scene, although their identities had yet to be disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
According to a video shared via the agency’s X handle on Tuesday, some of the drinks include Bullet Energy drink, popular tequila Don Julio, Jameson drink, among others.
“#HappeningNow: NAFDAC has uncovered a suspected counterfeit production facility at Zamfara Plaza, BBA Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.
“Two suspects were arrested at the scene while allegedly revalidating energy drinks and popular wine and whisky brands. More details to follow shortly,” the tweet accompanying the video read.
Some of the operatives frowned at the development, as one of them complained that people had been accusing the agency of ineffectiveness.
