A pastor and business man in Onitsha , Benjamine Nwizu is now on the run following his complicity in pirating various brands of shaving sticks and selling them to unsuspecting members of the public.
Perhaps many have unknowingly bought his pirated brand of Dorko, Bic, and Gillette shaving sticks which were produced under unhygienic and below standard provisions. Many are already complaining of rashes, burns and irritation of the skin after using the fake brands not knowing that Mr. Nwizu is the cause of their problems.
The Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), last Tuesday sealed off his two factories located at KM 15 Onitsha, Owerri Road, Obosi, another at Nsugbe 3-3 and a shop at R2/667, Main Market, Onitsha, Anambra state.
The SON team who were accompanied by policemen from the Lagos State Command also arrested 25 staff found working in the factory, 9 boys and 17 ladies, including two pregnant women who nearly fainted on sighting the police and SON officials.
the Organization evacuated about five truckloads of the sub standard products from the factories including machines valued at N200 million.
The Anambra State Head of SON, Albert Wilberforce, told journalists at the factory site at Obosi that the factories belonging to one Benjamin Ugochukwu Nwizu, a self acclaimed pastor of a Pentecostal Church, who is now at large were producing fake Dorco Shaving sticks and other nine unbranded sub standard products including Dava Soap and Darren Soap.
The closure of the companies- Bendusco International Agency and D AND K, Golden City Investment Ltd. is coming few days after an Onitsha Magistrate court granted the prayers of the applicant, SON to search, inspect, take samples, seize, and seal and to compel the respondent to comply with standards of shaving stick and allied products.
Wilberforce further explained that this is the second time SON is sealing off the suspects factory, adding that in their first encounter with the suspect, over 200 trucks of BIC shaving stick including machines were evacuated.
According to him, the suspect is into faking of different famous products without Nigerian identification numbers. He explained that the original Dorco shaving stick comes from South Korea and that is the one authorized by SON.
The SON boss however advised Nigerians to insist on patronizing made in Nigeria products that can save their lives and not the one that will destroy it and declared that the factories will remain sealed and the suspect who is now at large will face the full weight of the law when apprehended.
