Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), in collaboration with the Nigeria Police have seized 504 cartons of substandard Bic brand shaving sticks.
This is contained in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by Mr Bola Fashina, the Special Adviser to SON’S Director-general, Mr Osita Aboloma.
SON said the Divisional Police Headquarters, Ebute Ero, Lagos, handed over the seized suspected substandard products to its representatives in Lagos.
SON officials had earlier evacuated 196 Cartons of the suspected substandard Bic brand of shaving sticks from the same Ebute Ero Market, bringing the total to 700 cartons worth more than N6.4 million.
The Divisional Crime Officer (DCO), Mr Bello Taofeek, while handing over the suspected substandard shaving sticks to SON, said they were seized from a truck waiting to be offloaded inside the Ebute Ero Market.
Taofeek said the seizure followed credible information provided by some patriotic Nigerians in response to the call by regulatory agencies for all hands to e on deck to ensure quality vanguard.
