“The suspect is currently detained at katwe Police station and the holding charge is dealing in counterfeit products,” he said.

Mr Onyango said the National Drug Authority and Uganda National Bureau of Standards have been brought on board as part of the team to investigate the matter.

“We want to appeal to members of the public to be on the lookout for counterfeit sanitizers. We also appeal to the general public to inform police of any illegal activities in their area,” he said.
