Nigeria has been producing fake drinks and everything for ages. Whenever one fails to play the ball, then he becomes the scapegoat. What is not fake in Lagos? What do u think ogogoro is? Just because he put exclusive property label on the drinks - apparently without permission. Nigeria police blew it up just like in every other case, to make it sound real bad. The moment police boss gets a handshake from the man, he will be free and case thrown out. Dangerous chemical, does it have a name? Naija police are story tellers as always.
