Mr Akaniyene Tommey, the Council Chairman of Eket Local Government, led a team of security officers on a raid on illegal alcoholic distilleries in the local government today.
The Council Boss and his entourage, which included the DPO of Eket Division, DSP Sunday Digha, Civil Defence men, and Ministry of Environment staff, discovered two separate adulterated alcoholic factories at Ikot Abia Village, where empty bottles of various brands of alcoholic beverages, labels, empty cartons of drinks, and already finished products were discovered.
The adulterated items were taken away by the men of the Police which according to DSP Digha, will be used as one of the exhibits against the perpetrators in Court.
Frowning at the incident, the Council Chairman charged the police to leave no stone unturned and also make sure the owners of the illegal factories are made to face the law and also charged on citizens to be vigilant and report suspicious activities in their area to security operatives.
