The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has arrested a man, Madu Abuchi Simon, in Lagos for allegedly producing and distributing fake versions of well-known alcoholic beverages. According to a statement shared on NAFDAC’s official X page, the suspect was caught in the act of counterfeiting premium brands such as Hennessy, William Lawson, Baileys, Martell, St. Remy, and Jameson.
When operatives raided the location, they uncovered expired Amarula cream liqueur, branded empty bottles and cartons, counterfeit packaging materials, cleaning chemicals, and other tools used in the illegal production. Simon reportedly tried to escape during the raid but was swiftly captured.
NAFDAC disclosed that over 100 cartons of fake alcoholic drinks, valued at more than ₦114 million, were confiscated from the premises. The outlet has since been sealed, and investigations are ongoing.
