The target of the operation was Mr. Chinedu Okafor, who was operating the illicit factory from his residence on MTN Road.

The suspicious activities of Mr. Okafor came to light thanks to the vigilance of the Nigerian Army, resulting in his apprehension and subsequent transfer to NAFDAC officials at the Ports Inspection Directorate in Seme Border. Upon further investigation, all equipment and materials used in the production of illegal drinks were seized, effectively putting an end to the unlawful operation.

It was discovered that Mr. Okafor had been engaged in this illicit trade for a significant period, posing a serious threat to the quality of regulated alcohol beverages in the Badagry region.

NAFDAC stresses the importance of public awareness and encourages individuals to report any dubious activities to protect public health. Mr. Okafor is set to face legal action, and the confiscated products, valued at over fifty million naira, will be destroyed.

This successful operation highlights the commitment of NAFDAC and the Nigerian Army to combatting illegal practices that endanger public health and safety.

It serves as a reminder that collaboration and vigilance are essential in upholding regulatory standards and safeguarding communities from harmful substances.
