Police bursts alleged adulterated fertilizers syndicate in Minna

Determined to frustrate the efforts of unscrupulous elements who are out to sabotage the Federal Government’s policy on local production of agro inputs, the Nigeria Police, Niger State Command, has arrested a man who allegedly specializes in adulterating Nigerian-made fertilizers in the State.

According to a source from Morris Nigeria Limited, blending plant for TAK Agro fertilizers in Minna, the company had got information about two weeks ago from members of the public that some people were allegedly adulterating TAK fertilizers in the state and a dragnet was laid to identify and track such people.

“I looked at the bags and immediately noted the difference between what they had in that truck and our own original bags and that was when I called the police,” he said. When reached for comments on the development, a senior executive at TAK Group who did not want to be named because the matter was still under police investigation, described the activities of counterfeiters as acts of economic sabotage that should not be tolerated.

“You can imagine what the implication would be if those fake fertilizers get to farmers and either leads to crop losses or very low yields. You can imagine the impression of such farmers about our indigenous fertilizer blends. I, therefore, see this as not just an attack on our brand that we have spent so much to build over many; it is also an attack on this country and what is presently our aspirations in agricultural development and food security.

Make Dem give Dem chance.. No be arrest.. Improve their method Otan😤
