The Standards Organisation of Nigeria has arrested a cosmetics and wine importer suspected of changing the expiry dates on products and putting new dates on them to mislead buyers.

The importer, Mr . Joseph Udeh, owner of Jouf Nigeria Limited , located at No . 10 Faith Street, off Comfort Oboh Street, Kirikiri Road, Apapa , Lagos , is said to be a major dealer in popular cosmetics and home product brands.

He converted two four- storey residential buildings, each containing eight rooms into storage facilities for products . A closer look at some of the cosmetics revealed varying expiry dates, some dating as far back as 2004 while some had expired in 2013 and some in 2016 .

Udeh whose shop is located at Balogun Market, Trade Fair complex , said he was a supplier to major retail outlets and some of the major department stores in Nigeria .

Addressing journalists shortly after the operation, the Head , Inspectorate and Compliance, SON, said the importer would face the full wrath of the law .

“ The volume of the goods that expired is inestimable . Imagine a product that should be used in wrapping up a baby in 2017 has expired in 2015, what will be the effect on the baby , of course it would be negative reaction on the baby .”
