—THE Standards Organization of Nigeria, SON, has sealed four warehouses containing alleged substandard products worth about N250 million at the Bridgehead market in the commercial city of Onitsha.
The warehouses which allegedly belong to one Chief James Umezurike and Mr Cosmas Nwoye are located at the carpenters’ tools section of the market.
SON said they were allegedly coupling substandard chains of other products and selling them to the public as Carlton Chain Saws.
A team of police officers accompanied SON officials during the raid on the warehouses and the case has been transferred to the police headquarters in Awka for further investigation.
Vice Chairman of Tools and Allied Products Dealers Association, TAPDA, of Bridgehead Market Onitsha, Chief Sylvester Ahanonu, who witnessed the sealing of the warehouses, commended SON for the action, noting that the issue of fake and substandard products had drastically affected traders and importers generally. It was the second time in one month that SON sealed warehouses with fake Carlton Chain Saws worth several millions of naira.
