Five
truck-loads of substandard electric cables, worth over N40 million has been
confiscated by the Standard Organisation of Nigeria, SON, in Obosi, near
Onitsha.
Dr
Romanus Isife, SON’s Acting State Coordinator, made the disclosure in an
interview with newsmen in Awka, explaining that the seizure followed a petition
on the imported substandard electric cables, written against the fake producer,
by the original patent of the cables.
He
said two persons attached to the distribution firm where the items were
recovered from were also arrested by the organisation.
While
re-echoing that enforcement would be a continuous exercise, Isife warned those
indulged in counterfeiting to desist from such act or risk arrest.
