Blue Diamond Freights, a freight company based in Guangzhou, China, has denied giving any authorisation letter to any company for the production of WHAL clippers.

This followed reports alleging that 10,000 fake WHAL clippers were seized from Yongkang Wonderful Electrical Appliance Company based in Yongkang city, China, when its offices were raided by officials of the city’s Public Security Bureau.

A statement on behalf of Blue Diamond Freights by Mr. Festus Mbisiogu denied giving any authorisation letter to Yongkang Wonderful Electrical Appliance Company or used the Seal of Blue Diamond Freights for the production of WHAL.

It also said: “I also do not remember, officially or unofficially, freighting any WHAL products from China or any part of the world to Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, in an apology letter to Blue Diamond Freights by MRY Celine on behalf of Yongkang, the company said Mbisiogu and Blue Diamond Freights did not give it any authorisation letter to produce clippers for WHAL.
