The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), have arrested a suspected dealer of fake expensive spirits in Ikeja after five months of being on the run.

The suspected fake expensive alcohol merchant, Nworie Benjamin, 40 years old, was first sighted in September 2024 with cartons of empty bottles of precious alcohol in Maryland, Lagos.

The suspects fled the scene, abandoning the exhibits. Several efforts to bring him in for questioning proved abortive until Monday night when a lead yielded fruits leading to the arrest of the suspect.

Several exhibits of expensive wines were recovered from the suspect’s shop in Ikeja. The two suspects along with exhibits have been transferred to the Lagos State Command, Ikeja and SCID, Panti for further investigations.
