The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has cracked down a fake cosmetics operation at the Balogun Trade Fair Gate in Lagos.
In a series of post via the agency’s official X account, yesterday, the Commission said its Investigation and Enforcement Directorate uncovered illegal activities of a fake cosmetics producer at the Balogun Trade Fair Gate, Trade Fair Complex of the State.
It stated that the owner of Pasco Global Limited, Mr. Pius Effiong Eyoh, was apprehended for manufacturing, packaging, distributing and selling a range of substandard and counterfeit cosmetic products.
“These included items like Skin Balance Perfect Knuckle Organic Peel Therapy and Golden Face Triple Action Concentrated Perfect Skin.
“Eyoh was caught in the act of processing and packaging these cosmetic products with false labels bearing French inscriptions and a Cameroonian address.
“NAFDAC’s intervention led to the sealing of the illegal manufacturing premises, Eyoh’s arrest, and the scheduling of his substandard products for destruction,” the post reads.
