NAFDAC Closes Down Unlicensed Sachet Water Production Facility in Apapa, Lagos State.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has recently closed down an unauthorized water production facility in Apapa, where counterfeit, contaminated, and unsanitary sachet water was being manufactured. 

This facility, situated at No. 89 Marine Road, Oluwole Market Waterside, was uncovered during an operation conducted by NAFDAC’s Investigation & Enforcement Directorate. 

The address of the factory did not match the one listed on the counterfeit sachet water brands that had already been produced. 

The operation uncovered thousands of bags of counterfeit sachet water, which were produced in a filthy environment adjacent to a polluted canal, and were prepared for distribution. 

During the enforcement action, more than 2,500 bags of sachet water were seized, and the remaining stock was destroyed on-site. 

The illegal facility was shut down, and all production equipment was dismantled and removed. NAFDAC has estimated the street value of the confiscated water to exceed ₦1 million. 

NAFDAC encourages the public to stay alert and report any suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.

Following his release from prison for the murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced former Paralympian track star, has resurfaced after eight years.  Now 37 years old, Pistorius served nine years of a 13-year prison sentence for fatally shooting Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013. During his trial, Pistorius claimed that he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar when he fired shots through a closed bathroom door in the middle of the night. However, prosecutors argued that he knew it was Steenkamp on the other side because they had just had an argument, and he witnessed her running into the bathroom and slamming the door. Recently, images captured by South African news site Netwerk24 show Pistorius with a wide grin on his face, but he appears a mere shadow of his former self. His hair has turned fully gray, and he is noticeably thinner compared to his previous weight gain during his time in prison. Since his release in January, Pistorius ...
