VIDEO: Abia shops producing fake Fanta, Schnapp, soft drinks, red wine, busted and destroyed

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that 240 Abia shops producing fake Fanta, Schnapp, soft drinks, red wine, busted and destroyed.

A video has been shared online where shops in Abia State have in stock fake drinks and some poisonous chemicals used for the production of these drinks.

All the drinks were seen being destroyed by the team from NAFDAC. Some drinks found at these shops include red wine, Fanta, club beer, Whisky, Hennesey, Champaigns, and many more.

“A lot of people have bought drinks for Christmas but don’t even know what the source is”, the NAFDAC director reveals as he uncovers another factory for the production of fake drinks.

“Some set of people are manufacturing products of other people in large quantity, so much so the other people might not know the difference between their products and the one manufactured here, under a very bad environment, using dangerous chemicals and colorings.

“All they do is just get a rubber, a mixer, a seive and put into bottles for people to drink. My fear is that this is yuletide period, a lot of people have bought drinks in the house, you don’t even know the source of the drinks you have bought. We have had a high level of increase in renal failure, Kidney failure and all of that.”

Also, in a media interactive session on the agency’s 2023 journey on Monday, December 18, NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, said based on an intelligence tip-off, the agency conducted extensive weeks of intelligence gathering and data collation on the activities of these “merchants of death”.
