Kasapreko Company Limited, producer of a medicinal alcoholic beverage, Alomo Bitters, has expressed delight at the arrest of a man
who allegedly specialises in the production of unwholesome imitation of the
original Alomo Bitters by officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug

The suspect, Mr. Akintunde Smith, was arrested few weeks ago
at his residence on Akanni Street, Teddy Village, Lagos where he was producing
the counterfeit version of Alomo Bitters, following a tip-off.
