The Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) has sealed off Ambel Supermarket at Gbagada Phase 2, Lagos for allegedly selling adulterated drinks in pet bottles.
A customer had complained of buying an adulterated drink from the supermarket after which LASCOPA’s Special Monitoring Team, led by the General Manager, Mrs. Kemi Olugbode, visited the place.
