Addressing journalists in Kaduna on Tuesday, Andrew Tamanuwa, Deputy Director of the Investigation and Enforcement Directorate at NAFDAC’s Kaduna office, said the agency acted swiftly after receiving information about vehicles transporting expired drinks.
According to Tamanuwa, the alert came in on Sunday evening, reporting that two buses and a Golf wagon were loaded with expired beverages en route to Kwanar Dangora in Kiru Local Government Area of Kano State.
“NAFDAC operatives immediately swung into action. We intercepted the vehicles and arrested the individual in possession of the products,” he stated.
The initial operation led to the confiscation of 700 packs of Schweppes and 300 packs of Fanta Orange.
