A Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday fixed today for ruling
on a bail application of the Managing Director of Tasty Time
Nigeria Ltd, Isaac Kole, charged with manufacture of fake
products.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the National Agency

arraigned the accused on a four-count charge bordering on producing
fake and unregistered products.
Justice Hadiza Rabiu-Shagari had allowed the accused to continue
with the administrative bail granted him and adjourned till
yesterday for the determination of his bail application.
The judge ordered the accused to produce a director either from
Federal or Lagos State Civil Service, who would sign an undertaking
to produce him in court on the next adjournment.
At the resumed hearing yesterday, the case was again adjourned
till today, as the court did not sit.
The prosecution alleged that Kole and his company had been using
their plant to produce unregistered Tasty Time products.
NAFDAC said the products include Tasty Time juice, Glucosaid
Energy drink, Tasty Time Pops orange flavoured drink, Tasty Time
Fitz Apple drink and Tasty Time mixed orange flavoured drink.
The accused was also alleged to have packaged and labelled the
products in a manner likely to create a wrong impression that they
were genuine and sold the unregistered products to the public.
The offences, according to the prosecutor, Mrs. Chinyere Okoli
of NAFDAC, contravene sections 1(1), 5(a) and 5(e) of the Foods and
Drugs Related Products Act, Laws of the Federation 2004.
