The Chairman of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) SP Olayinka Egbeyemi has warned members of the public to be wary of re-packaged expired digestive biscuits selling in all markets across the State.
He made disclosure today while parading 2 suspects arrested for re-packaging and selling expired digestive biscuits to members of the public around Mosafejo market in Oshodi, Lagos. He explained that one of his Officers arrested a lady (Bimbo Oyewole) at Oshodi under the bridge while she removing the expiry dates on a pack of a digestive biscuit.
The lady, upon interrogation was taken by the Task Force Official to the source of the expired digestive biscuit at N1900 per pack from one Mr. Rabiu Olalekan and Mr. Hakeem Tiamiyu. They confessed to have been doing the business and selling them to members of the public at a cheaper rate.
They sell a pack of re – packaged digestive biscuit at the rate of N1900 as against the non – expired one sold at N4500 per pack and had distributed them to various agents across the State…. most ppl forming “tush” av bought enuf already while some r eating it as we type….
