The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has arrested one Anthony Chidi at Mile 3 Market, Diobu, Port Harcourt, for producing fake alcoholic beverages in highly unsanitary conditions.
This was made known in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
According to the agency Chidi was caught inside a filthy shop, where he was washing used bottles of various alcoholic brands and refilling them with unwholesome drinks for resale.
