The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has continued its raid on dealers of suspected substandard and fake electric cables in Oyo State markets.
This, the Federal Government agency said it embarked upon in line with the mandate of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), as empowered by SON Act 2015.
The raid of the state markets lasted for two days between September 9 and 10.
In a statement by the team leader, Mr Sani Mohammad, the Head of Operations of SON, he said the organisation cannot fold its arms and watch dealers of fake and substandard products, as they constitute economic sabotage and endanger the health and safety of Nigerians.
