Governor David Umahi has placed a ban on the consumption of the Coke, Sprite and Fanta beverages at government functions in Ebonyi State.
Umahi gave the order during a meeting with traditional rulers and town union executives in the state.
This follows the events of a case heard at the Lagos State High Court where it was alleged that Fanta Orange and Sprite may be hazardous if consumed with vitamin C.
The suit was between Fijabi Adebo Holdings Limited and Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo against the Nigerian Bottling Company Ltd and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.
Mr. Umahi on entering the governor’s lodge, venue of the Tuesday meeting, noticed the soft drinks on the tables.
He immediately jumped up, demanded for the microphone and ordered the rushers to remove all bottles of coke, sprite and fanta from the hall as according to him, they are dangerous to health
“I don’t want these brands of soft drink to be served in any government function again”, he warned.
Immediately, the ushers and protocol officers evacuated the drinks from the tables out of the hall.
