The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday ordered that two businessmen accused of dealing in adulterated engine oil products be remanded in Ikoyi prison.
The judge, Chuka Obiozor, issued the remand order after the
Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) arraigned the two men on five counts, including fraudulent inscription of fake SON mark and certification number on the alleged substandard products.
SON alleged that the defendants – Vanger Luper and Bright Ogbuagu – inscribed the fake SON mark and certification number on forged labels of Total, Mobil, Forte Oil and MMASCO to deceive unsuspecting buyers.
