Busted!!! Producers Of Fake Engine Oil Arrested In Lagos (Photo)

Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps have arrested four school-leavers for allegedly producing adulterated engine oil.

The suspects, John Ibem, Lawrence Frank, Agu Ndubuisi and Samuel Chukwuonye, were paraded on Friday at the Lagos State Command of the NSCDC in Ikeja.
It was learnt that they were apprehended on Thursday at a factory on Marine Bridge Street, Apapa, where the lubricant was produced in large quantity.
The factory owner, identified simply as Emeka, took to his heels and was still at large as of the time of filing this report.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the suspects branded the counterfeit product in the name of a leading lubricant producer in the country in order to deceive unsuspecting members of the public.
Five jerrycans containing the counterfeit product and a bucket of gum used in the factory were said to have been recovered by the security operatives.
However, the suspects did not disclose the price at which they sold a jerrycan of the adulterated lubricant.
It was learnt that same quantity of the original engine oil was sold for N5,000.
Ndubuisi, 19, who hails from Ebonyi State, said five drums of the counterfeit oil with 250 litres each were produced daily at the factory.
