As the death toll in River state rises by the day as a result of food poisoning , the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) said it would collaborate with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to establish the real cause of the deaths.

These deaths has been linked to the consumption of dog meat and locally made gin known as Ogogoro, which possibly contain heavy doses of methanol. The agency urged Nigerians to desist from the consumption of locally made gin.

At a joint press conference on Monday, the Director General of NAFDAC, Paul Orhi, and the coordinator of NNCDC, Professor Abdulsalami Nasidi,told reporters that samples of the locally produced gin had already been collected from Rivers State and were currently undergoing laboratory test in Lagos State.

The general public were also advised o take any suspected victim of food poisoning to teaching hospitals, as the possibility of restoring health exists when cases are reported early.

So far, 45 cases of food poisoning have been reported in Rivers State.

Well, these are the kinds of things that are more difficult than imagined.
Every sane person knows ogogoro isn't exactly good for the body but it has found use in virtually everything we do in this part of the world. Marriage, naming ceremonies, burials, even post delivery, women are given ogogoro for cleansing of some sort.
I hear some people even rinse their mouth with it in the morning.
So teeeey, dem call am sapele water .
It's gonna take a massive campaign to even half the consumption.
God help us
