The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) enforcement officers, aided by intelligence from the Nigerian Army’s 15 Field Engineering Regiment in Badagry, dismantled the operations of Mr Chinedu Okafor, an illegal drinks manufacturer operating from his residence at No. 24, MTN Road, Badagry.
CONVERSEER learned that Mr Okafor’s suspicious activities caught the attention of the Nigerian Army, leading to his arrest and subsequent handover to NAFDAC officers at the Ports Inspection Directorate, Seme Border.
Upon inspection, the officers evacuated all equipment and materials used in the production of illicit drinks, effectively shutting down the illegal factory.
Investigations revealed Mr Okafor’s longstanding involvement in this criminal activity, which has potentially compromised regulated alcohol drinks in the Badagry area.
