The trial judge, Justice Abdulazeez Anka consequently, ordered the remand of the accused in prison custody.
He adjourned the case to Jan. 26 for a review of facts.
The prosecutor, Mr Shamaki Umar had told the court that the accused committed the offence on March 16, 2015.

He said that the accused was arrested at his residence at Oke-arin area of Lagos where he engaged in the reproduction of the Moet wine.
According to the prosecutor, Madu also sold and distributed the counterfeit products to consumers.
He said that the offence contravened the provisions of sections 5, 6 and 6(1) (a) of the Food Drugs and Related products (registration) Act Cap F33 Laws of the Federation, 2004.
The accused who was earlier granted administrative bail after his arrest, had failed to appear in court on Jan. 18, the last adjourned date slated for his arraignment.
The prosecutor had then sought for an abridgement of time from the court for arraignment of the accused, when he was re-arrested.

Why produce fake wine when he could have bought fruits and made Juice to sell?..Get rick Quick or die trying mentality!
Hw mch is fruit? He will make more money
ReplyDeleteWondering who Shantell is😼
Why must it always come from my people??? I'm still proudly igbo o no matter what
DeleteWhy not produce his own brand? The best way to stay healthy is to blend your own fruits and drink.
DeleteFake everything from coke, eva water, chi products to that 50naira water we buy in traffic.
This man did not settle nafdac and his neighbours that's why he was caught.
Nafdac biko enter street they're still much out there especially sachet water/50naira bottle water producers.
End time fake wine
DeleteWas at a top island one day with friends, and as hot girls we were offered three bottles of Moët. One of my friends took the 1st sip and ran to the bathroom to spit out and came back to say it was fake. She started describing the real one and showing us the signs of the fake one. Na so all of us Sidon dey admire the bottles. Me I had even already taken a few sips. Lol. The guys (one of whom owned the club) started vexing cos they said we were feeling proud and the drinks were complementary. But who wan die of poison? Na only sorry we tell them oh! Say make them give us cocktail.
DeleteWhat we don't know is that bar and Club owners also patronize fake champagne manufacturers too. It's less expensive for them. Even many wine shops patronize them. We are our own enemies in Nigeria. Cos if they don't have market they won't continue production. Imagine! Moët from Oke-Arin? Hian!
Stella d product might not be fake.....he disnt register them

How can you say it may not be fake. Is he authorized to produce moet. Moet is imported so if he's producing it in his backyard then it's fake.
DeleteWhat??!!!
DeleteDid u even think before making this comment? SMH
Is Moët a Nigerian product? Na wa.

ReplyDeleteDecember we bought beveldere
DeleteAnd most of them were fake. Hubby only found out when he noticed the seal under one botttle he had at the bar was different from the new ones. After comparing, he called the man and asked them to come and pick it up but he refused coming giving excuses, they had to return it to his shop and forcefully collected money because we bought a lot of drinks from him. We even returned the other wines we bought from him.
Bad people every where...
Nafdac should catch them more. But the problem with all this thing is if he had gone to Nafdac and settled them before now he would have gone scot free
Can you imagine?!!! This is so discouraging.
DeleteThats a good job from NAFDAC.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason there's an increase in kidney failure and cancer.
