Fake Super Glue floods market

Super Glue

The Alteco Chemical PTE Ltd., a company that produces Alteco 11O Super Glue, has raised an alarm over the faking of its product across the country.

Mr Ifeanyi Dike, the company’s Media Consultant, said on Sunday in Onitsha that the company’s products that were faked and worth millions of naira were confiscated during several raids in Onitsha, Aba and Lagos.

Dike, who noted that over 100 shops were raided in Onitsha alone, said the raid was carried out in collaboration with the Police after obtaining Anton Pillar Order from court.

The Anton Piller order is an order of court which requires the defendant to permit the plaintiff to enter the defendant’s premises to obtain evidence.

“Six different companies faking Alteco 110 super glue with designs that deceive unsuspecting consumers have been sued.

“Counterfeiting practices have a far reaching impact on many facets of people’s lives, especially as the materials and manufacturing processes do not follow standards,” the media consultant said.

He explained that proliferation and sale of fake products such as Alteco 110 super glue prevents fair market competition and has a huge impact on businesses.

While commending the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) for its determination to rid market of fake and adulterated products, Dike called for an intensified campaign against counterfeiting.

He called for stiffer penalties for culprits in order to deter others who plan to indulge in such an unscrupulous venture.

Dike thanked the leadership of Onitsha market for its cooperation during the raids.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’. The Minister said by asking the US to refrain from selling warplanes and other military equipment to Nigeria based on a faulty premise, the Congressman has demonstrated a poor understanding of global security issues. ”Insecurity anywhere i
