According to reports from Premium Times Nigeria and several other sources, NAFDAC conducted a raid on the Lagos Trade Fair Complex on October 14, 2026. During the raid, they seized over N2 billion worth of counterfeit drinks and arrested two suspects. The Trade Fair Complex has since issued a statement condemning the production of such fake products.
The Guardian Nigeria News, Daily Post Nigeria, and Independent Newspaper Nigeria also reported on the incident, confirming the seizure and arrests. The NAFDAC has not yet said when the facility began operating illegally, but the agency’s action is expected to send a strong message against counterfeit goods in Nigeria.
This is a developing story and more information will be made available as it becomes available.
