A trending video has surfaced online showing operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) raiding an alleged illegal factory producing adulterated fruit juice in Badagry, Lagos State.

The operation reportedly led to the arrest of two women suspected of being involved in the production and distribution of the fake fruit juice products.

During the raid, NSCDC operatives recovered quantities of the suspected adulterated drinks, raw materials and other items allegedly used in the production process.

The discovery has raised concerns over the potential health risks posed by unregulated food and beverage production, particularly products manufactured without the required safety and quality controls.

The NSCDC said the operation was carried out as part of its efforts to protect the public and tackle activities capable of endangering lives through the production and distribution of substandard consumable products.
