The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) closed down the East Legon branch of the Marwako Restaurant, following allegations of food poisoning on social media by persons who claim to have eaten there.

In a tweet shared on Thursday, May 12, 2022, the Authority said that together with other authorities, it has commenced investigations into the alleged food poisoning which hospitalised many customers who claim to have eaten there.

Subsequently, two more branches of the Marwako Restaurant, in addition to the East Legon branches, were closed as part of the ongoing investigations into the suspected food poisoning incident.
