The Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Command, has sealed a fake alcoholic/wine factory in the Badagry area of Lagos, days after the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) discovered a fake fruit juice factory in Talabi Onilegbale Street, Aradagun, Olorunda Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Badagry, Lagos.
The Lagos State Police Command said the factory used for the production of adulterated alcoholic drinks in Badagry, such as Flamingo De Brandy and others, was discovered following credible intelligence from members of the public.
The operation led to the arrest of 48-year-old Anaebo Emeka Hilary at Yafin, Badagry, Lagos State, where the suspected illegal factory was located.
During the operation, the operatives recovered adulterated alcoholic drinks, empty bottles, different wine labels, and various production utensils suspected to have been used in the production and packaging of the drinks. The factory was subsequently sealed, while the suspect was taken into Police custody. The recovered items have been taken to the station for further investigation.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Tijani Fatai, commended the operatives for their vigilance and prompt response to credible information. He reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to sustaining intelligence-led operations against criminal activities across the state, while urging members of the public to continue providing timely and credible information to the Police through its emergency lines.
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command has arrested a 17-year-old boy, Usman Dauda, for defiling a 3-year-old girl in Saki.
This operational breakthrough followed a distress report lodged at the Saki Divisional Station on September 17, 2026, at about 6. p.m., after the child went missing while being retrieved from school earlier that afternoon.
A search subsequently led to her recovery along the roadside in a state of distress, where preliminary inquiries revealed that the suspect had forcefully taken her into his apartment to commit the heinous act.
Prompted by this revelation, detectives visited and secured the scene of the crime, resulting in the immediate arrest of the suspect and the recovery of critical physical evidence linked to the offense.
While investigations were immediately activated, the young survivor was promptly rushed to a medical facility in Saki, where she is currently receiving comprehensive clinical treatment and psycho-therapeutic care.
The case has been transferred to the Gender Desk, State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, Ibadan, for investigation and prosecution.
Consequently, the Command assured the good people of Oyo State of its commitment to safety and urged members of the public to remain vigilant by promptly reporting any acts of violence against children or vulnerable persons to the nearest police facility.
