NAFDAC uncovered a suspected counterfeit alcoholic drinks factory at No. 25 Omenazu Street in Aba, Abia State, following credible intelligence. The facility was operating in unhygienic conditions, and the suspected operator fled, leaving a vehicle containing packaging bearing the names Sir Edwards Scotch Whisky and Scottish Hills Whisky, empty bottles and about 200 litres of liquid. Further searches found sealing machines, bottle caps, tanks of liquid concoctions, dirty sieves and drums of ethanol, some containing tree bark. NAFDAC estimated the recovered equipment and materials were worth more than ₦500 million and urged the public to report suspected illegal manufacturing.
