  "summary": "The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has seized counterfeit packaging materials worth over ₦200 million from five shops at Old Court Road Market in Aba, Abia State. The agency conducted the operation following credible intelligence about suspected counterfeit packaging operations targeting popular alcoholic beverages and other products. During the raid, operatives encountered threats and resistance from traders, making the evacuation of the seized materials challenging. The seized packaging materials included labels, corks, packs, and outer packaging bearing the names of several well-known brands, such as Jameson, Glenfiddich, and Seaman’s Aromatic Schnapps.",
