The National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has closed approximately 100 shops in Ogbete Main Market, Enugu State, the largest market in the southeastern state.



NAFDAC’s South-east Director, Martins Iluyomade, announced the closures, stating that the shops were shut down due to alleged involvement in selling suspected fake alcoholic beverages.


During a raid on Monday, NAFDAC officials confiscated a truckload of adulterated products and arrested four traders suspected of selling fake beverages. Iluyomade, a pharmacist, emphasized the agency's commitment to eliminating these counterfeit products from the market.


“We stormed the popular Ogbete Main Market, Enugu, and have shut down 100 shops identified for selling fake alcoholic beverages. Arrests were made, and the suspects are currently in custody,” said Iluyomade. 


“These fake wines and alcoholic beverages are being sold to unsuspecting customers and the general public. We are determined to rid the market of these unwholesome products,” he added.
