Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have raided an alleged illegal juice factory in Aradagun, Badagry area of Lagos State, arresting two women in connection with the operation.
The factory, located on Talabi Onilegbale Street, Aradagun, Olorunda LCDA, was uncovered around 9 p.m. on September 19, 2026, following five days of surveillance after the corps received intelligence about activities at the premises.
According to the NSCDC, the factory was producing a drink branded Barkas Juice under Titi Alubarika Trading Stores Ltd. The corps claimed the product was unregistered and carried a purportedly fake NAFDAC registration number, 01-2166L.
A truck loaded with the drinks was found at the premises, alongside cartons of the products and rolls of product labels.
The NSCDC also stated that water used for production was sourced from a dirty well within the premises, while an unclean industrial storage tank was also found.
