Ogun State Police and NAFDAC have launched a joint enforcement drive targeting alcoholic drinks packaged in sachets and small PET bottles below 200ml, along with other unapproved products. The move is aimed at removing goods authorities describe as unsafe and outside regulatory approval.
Police leadership says the operation supports full enforcement of the Liquor Act and related laws governing alcohol distribution. NAFDAC and police teams inspect markets, motor parks, bars, warehouses, and factories, with powers to seize products they allege are fake, unregistered, adulterated, or expired. The exercise begins in Abeokuta and is set to spread across the state until compliance is achieved, according to officials.
Across outlets, the emphasis is on partnership and enforcement. Both sources describe authorities citing public health concerns, including the affordability and accessibility of the targeted drinks to minors. They also include calls for cooperation from manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, and consumers, and encourage the public to report suspected unsafe or fake alcoholic products.
