The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has made a significant breakthrough in its ongoing efforts to curb the production and distribution of counterfeit goods. In a recent operation in Port Harcourt, the agency uncovered a sophisticated syndicate responsible for the production and sale of fake bottled water.
Acting on a tip-off from vigilant citizens, NAFDAC’s enforcement team, accompanied by security operatives, raided a location in Port Harcourt suspected to be involved in the illegal production of bottled water.
Upon entering the premise, officials discovered a makeshift factory where large quantities of unregistered bottled water were being produced under unsanitary conditions. The bottles were found to have fake labels and branding, designed to mimic popular and trusted water brands in the market.
