We Don’t Produce Hennessy, Fake Products—- Anambra Firm Replies OCHA Brigade
AliBan De Great Industries, producers of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages in Nkpor, Anambra State says the Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA) Brigade lied in it’s claim that the company is involved in the manufacturing of Hennessy cognac.
Recall that operatives of OCHA Brigade invaded AliBan De Great factory on Oct. 10, destroyed property and made away with products and properties of the company.
OCHA alleged that the company produced fake brands such as Classic Heaven, Baron Devanis, Dutch Black, Triple MW, and Hennessy,
“They produced and distributed several types of fake and unapproved wines in large quantities and distributed for general consumption,” OCHA alleged.
.
Mr Barnabas Alih, Managing Director of AliBan De Great told Journalists on Monday that the company only manufactured products that had been registered and approved by the relevant regulatory bodies.
Alih said his company did not produce Hennessy or any products that were registered by anybody or company as alleged by OCHA Brigade.
He wondered why OCHA Brigade, which is not a regulatory body or certification body for beverage manufacturing processes, would force themselves into his factory, destroy his CCTV cameras, uninstall and take away his generators and products.
“In their own account, they said they took away 2,000 cartoons of my products but it was more than that.
“What are you doing with my Lister generator and small generator, my laptops and other valuables?
“For five days, seven of my staff are still being detained without trial in their facility.
“It is laughable that they said we produce Hennessy and other exotic wines, they have simply allowed themselves to be used as agents of persecution and destruction of businesses,” he said.
The AliBan De Great CEO called on relevant authorities to secure justice for his illegally detained staff as he had gone to OCHA Brigade office and Police Command for their release without success.
He lamented that his legitimate business was suffering for offenses he was yet to know about.
