The counterfeiters are usually very innovative and dynamic in their dealings; hence our team has continued to evolve to ensure that we are always a step ahead to curb the menace of the Counterfeiters. 

​

Our team conduct:

• Market survey of markets in Nigeria. The Nigerian market system is majorly unorganized and requires deep local knowledge to be able to identify the source of these counterfeit products. 

• Spotter programmes (general sweeps of the market in a particular city to check the availability of counterfeit products); and/or

• Preliminary investigations/market reviews to identify traders dealing in counterfeit goods and gather evidence (by conducting test purchases) for the purpose of conducting administrative raids; and/or

• In-depth investigations to identify large-scale wholesalers/manufacturers/importers of counterfeit goods into Nigeria.

• Organize and supervise raids and enforcement actions against identified source/s and combating parallel imports.
