    NAFDAC Seals Over 250 Factories Producing Fake Peak Milk, Coca-Cola, Others In Abia

    By David AkonucheJanuary 28, 2025

    THE National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has shut down the infamous Cemetery Market in Aba, Abia State, for the second time in two years.

    The agency said it uncovered and confiscated fake and substandard food and beverages worth over ₦5 billion in its latest operation tagged Operation Clean Up Aba.

    Described as a hub for Africa’s largest counterfeit wine and beverage cartel, Cemetery Market has been notorious for producing fake alcoholic drinks, carbonated beverages, and food products.

    TAZKIYAH UNIVERSITY

    NAFDAC’s Director-General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, in a statement she signed on Tuesday, described the raid as “the most decisive action in the history of the market.”

    “This is a major step toward safeguarding public health and curbing the circulation of fake products in Nigeria,” Adeyeye said.

    During the operation, over 240 makeshift factories were said to have been discovered, producing counterfeit products under unsanitary conditions.

    Adeyeye revealed that these factories used harmful chemicals, contaminated water and recycled bottles to manufacture fake versions of popular brands, including Hennessy, Seaman Schnapps, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Peak Milk and Hollandia Yoghurt.

    “These criminal elements use unhygienic sources of water, saccharin, colouring agents, and harmful chemicals unsuitable for human consumption. The adulteration of alcoholic beverages involves cheaper sugars and starches instead of fruits or grapes,” Adeyeye explained.

    She added that over 1,500 cartons of fake products were destroyed on-site, with the total street value of the seized and destroyed goods estimated at ₦5 billion.

    She said the operation also led to the discovery of three warehouses stockpiling expired Hollandia Yoghurt for revalidation on January 22.

    NAFDAC commended the Abia State Government, led by Governor Alex Otti, for supporting the raid.

    “The unwavering support of Governor Alex Otti, the Mayor of Aba South, and the interim market management committee has been critical to the success of Operation Clean Up Aba,” the Director-General said.

    The agency urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and report any suspicious products to the nearest NAFDAC office.

    “We are determined to safeguard the health of the nation and rid markets of fake and substandard products,” Adeyeye assured all.
