A Nigerian man has taken to social media to call the attention of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, regarding a woman in his area who has allegedly been selling fake drinks for over 10 years.
In a post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), the man stated that the woman has been engaging in the illegal production and sale of counterfeit beverages for a long time, despite being arrested multiple times by the police. He claimed that she always manages to secure her release by bribing law enforcement officers and then resumes her illicit activities without facing any consequences.
Determined to put an end to her operations, he publicly reached out to NAFDAC, requesting the agency’s intervention. He also expressed his willingness to provide full details via direct message to aid in her arrest and prosecution.
His statement reads:
“Dear @NafdacAgency, there’s a woman producing fake drinks in my community. She’s been doing this for well over 10 years. The police occasionally arrest her, but she always bribes her way out and returns home to continue her business. I’m willing to provide full details via DM.”
“She operates just one street away from my house.”
His revelation has sparked widespread concern among Nigerians, who flooded the comment section with reactions, sharing similar experiences and urging authorities to take immediate action.
See some reactions below:
@_youfoundalex: “There’s a man in my village that boldly told me that his wife in Onitsha produced all the drinks they served guests during their wedding. From Hero to Stout to Fanta. Nah God dey help person for this country.”
@ben_1daEbiri: “I hope you used a burner account to make this tweet because if she somehow evades arrest, she’ll most likely come for you.”
@Xtunting: “Way to go now… them plenty wey dey sell fake sardines for my side, I don too suffer for their hands.”
@bamiroken: “We are quick to shift the narrative of our real identity as a country to just a region. It’s wise to defend yourself only than defending a whole region. We Nigerians are bad people, we can do anything for money.”
@huntairdrop_: “Be careful, the woman may definitely have some of these men on her payroll, remain anonymous.”
@ewisdomdaily1: “Thanks, comrade. Market leaders know the fake drugs/beverage dealers. Their neighbors know them too. The attitude of ‘minding my business’ is what is killing Nigerians. Some people will still defend her when she’s arrested, just like what that popular presidential candidate did.”
