Two arrested as NSCDC uncovers illegal car lubricant production factory
The Oyo State Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has discovered a factory where adulterated and fake Automated Transmission Fluids, grease engine oil and other varieties of car lubricants are produced.
One Patrick Umeh, 57 and 41-year-old Adegoke Sunday were arrested at the factory located at Gbekuba area in Ibadan, the state’s capital.
It was gathered that the sealing of the production site was carried out by the NSCDC Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad following an intelligence tip-off.

NSCDC’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Babawale Afolabi, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday said: “The production location is very remote & deceptive because the so called company was located inside a residential house, which does not meet the industrial standard.
This is where the production, packaging & sales as established brand lubricants to unsuspecting oil users takes place.”
