Police uncovers illegal drink factory in Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command said on Thursday that its agents had discovered an illegal drink manufacturing in the Agege region of the state and had taken four people into custody.

This occurs concurrently with the police announcement that they have opened an inquiry into the accused' purported manufacturing and distribution of fake beverages.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the public relations officer for the command, disclosed this information in a succinct post on his X (formerly Twitter) page on Thursday.

Hundeyin claims that among other things, bogus drinks were recovered during the operation, and the four individuals who were thought to be the masterminds of the illicit distillery were arrested.

Hundeyin went on to say that during the raid, counterfeit beverages, empty bottles, and numerous brand labels were also seized.

“Officers of Isokoko Division, acting on credible information, raided a house in Agege where fake alcoholic drinks were being produced.

“The police arrested four people behind the illegal distillery and recovered fake drinks, empty bottles, and labels of different brands. The investigation is ongoing,” the PPRO stated.
