NAFDAC uncovers illegal alcohol factory with products worth N50m in Badagry [PHOTOS]

NAFDAC enforcement officers, aided by intelligence from the Nigerian Army's 15 Field Engineering Regiment in Badagry, have dismantled the operations of Mr Chinedu Okafor, an illegal drinks manufacturer operating from his residence at No. 24, MTN Road, Badagry. 

According to a statement from the agency, 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, officers evacuated all equipment and materials used in the production of illicit drinks, effectively shutting down the illegal factory. 

Investigations revealed Okafor's longstanding involvement in this criminal activity, which has potentially compromised regulated alcohol drinks in the Badagry area.  

The agency mentioned that Okafor will face prosecution, and all offending products will be destroyed, with an estimated value exceeding fifty million naira (₦50,000,000).
