A 16-year-old boy, Ejoboh Iroboh, has been arrested for dealing in unauthorised wine products, and using forged registration numbers of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control. The minor was apprehended last Wednesday along with eight other suspects, said to be retailers in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State by the state command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The suspects were identified as Emmanuel Godwin (19), Ifeanyi Mba (23), Okechukwu Nweke, Emmanuel Mba (23), Emmanuel Chukwu, Kazim Idowu, Chibuike Ona and Mrs. Clara Akalazu, who was released on bail on health grounds.
Operatives of the corps stormed buildings in the Lucky Fibre and Oke-Agbo areas of Ikorodu, where the products – Princess Fruit and Merry Fruit – were being distilled respectively.
No fewer than 112 packs of the products with each pack containing six bottles, two generators, one water tank, one mixing tank, a pump, a gas cylinder, three sealing machines and stamps were said to have been recovered from the factories.
It was gathered that the traders bought a pack of Princess Fruit for N1,000.
