LEADERSHIP learnt that Chidi was caught inside a dirty shop washing used bottles of various brands of alcoholic beverages which he uses in producing the unwholesome drinks and sells to unsuspecting members of the public.

He confessed to have started the illicit business about a year ago, having relocated from Aba, Abia State, where he mastered the trade, adding that he also gets the labels and packaging materials from Aba while he buys the used bottles within Port Harcourt.
