The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has arrested one Victor Ebuka Okeke in connection with the revalidation of expired food.
The 24-year-old indigene of Anambra State, confessed that he imports most of the expired products from Ghana.
DAILY POST gathered that NAFDAC raided his one-room-factory shop stocked with illegal and expired food products like Costa Corned Beef, Maggi Sauce, Exeter Corned beef and Amoy Dark Soy Sauce.
Two drums filled with ordinary water which he used to immerse the products and remove the labels from the expired products without any trace and replace with new labels, were also discovered in the factory.
A NAFDAC official said the case will be forwarded for prosecution and the suspect arraigned before a court, as the Police attached to the agency has taken down the statement of the suspect.
