NAFDAC cracks down on fake cosmetics producer in Lagos (photos)

NAFDAC’s Investigation & Enforcement Directorate has uncovered the illegal activities of a fake cosmetics producer at the Balogun Trade Fair Gate, Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.

A statement released by NAFDAC today April 22 says Mr. Pius Effiong Eyoh, the owner of Pasco Global Limited, 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, Golden Face Triple Action Concentrated Perfect Skin and Skin Free Cream, amongst others.

‘’Eyoh was caught in the act of processing and packaging these cosmetic products with false labels bearing French inscriptions and a Cameroonian address, aiming to deceive unsuspecting consumers into believing they were imported.”

The statement added that NAFDAC’s intervention led to the sealing of the illegal manufacturing premises, Eyoh’s arrest, and the scheduling of his substandard products for destruction.
