The title of this thread is inaccurate.

If you actually read the report, it is clear that the poultry was NOT buried because it was "contaminated." There is no reference to that in the report.

They were buried because they were "contraband" and "condemned" to disposal.
The fact that they were buried overnight would sure pose its own health risks, but that is not what is being highlighted.

They say if you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book sad

Regardless of the circumstance, this is sad to see, because about half of that poultry will end up in local markets.

There was pandemonium on Saturday and Sunday near the Trailer Park at Ebubu in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers when scores of youth, women and children descended on a burrow pit; dug out and took home several tonnes of chicken condemned and buried by men of the Nigerian Customs.

The scavengers came with shovels, pans, basins and buckets to cart their loot home.

The Customs had on Friday dug out a canal there and buried thousands of cartons of frozen poultry they seized at the Onne Ports. Witnesses said the chicken were brought in six containers, emptied and
buried before the customs party left.

But news soon spread abroad about the development and very early on Saturday, the human carrions came calling. With no security at the site, they dug and dug and opened up the pit.

A visit to many homes around the area on Sunday revealed serious barbecuing going on as people roasted and dried the chicken they exhumed from the burial site.

In one home according to reports, a full length refrigerator was stocked full of roast chicken, while the hosts invited guests to a sumptuous pick.

But the development has sent an alarm across Eleme and neighbouring communities about the danger of eating the condemned chicken.
The Archbishop of the popular Commonwealth Covenant Church, the Most Rev. Moses Kattey, had to put out a message to the people on Sunday warning people off eating chicken for two weeks.

“A very mighty hole was dug and trailers of carton of chicken were buried by govt for health reasons. People have gone there with shovels to exhume the meat to sell. Warn your people please not to buy frozen or fried chicken next 2 weeks. They are poisonous. This happened here in Eleme but can be sold anywhere,” the archbishop said.

Mr. Friday Lewa Goya, a local resident said:

“We saw scores of people in Eleme/Onne axis (just before trailer Park) carrying raffia bags full of exhumed ‘frozen’ chickens and turkey. The Nigerian Customs buried them yesterday after seizing them from the importers.

“Please if you live in Rivers state, especially in Onne area cascade this post. you might also want to stay off frozen poultry for a while.”
A few other residents however said there was no health hazard with the poultry. Mr. Lasbrey Iriaka said the poultry was confiscated not because it had expired or because it posed health hazard.

“It was seized from importers because it is contraband. The customs men even diverted one container themselves. So who is fooling who?” queried Iriaka.

This scene also brings memory of people scooping petrol from fallen tankers. These pictures is enough to tell Nigerian politicians of the extent of poverty in this country.

Sometimes I just feel like getting a gun to kill any politician at sight. Boko haram should please turn their guns to Nigerian politicians, they're the one that deserve to be killed.
wen they say we have animals as leaders people think it was a lie.... all they know is then selves and their family any other person can go to hell....

Sometimes I look at how poverty can make people behave irrationally, just imagine a chicken that has been buried for more than 12 hours plus who knows how many hours is been out of the freezer before the custom decided to confiscate and buried it and some group of people decided to dug it out and take it home to eat. This is a shame on a nation that claims to be the giant of Africa and some of their so called political leaders are looting billions of dollars everyday. My believe is that this type of mess will continue to exist as long as the youth who are strong and health refused to fight for their right. I remember the saying that everyone want to go heaven but no one want to die so how possible is that . Am using this medium to pass this message to every youth in nigeria that feel nigeria is worth calling his/her fatherland to wake from their slumber and fight with all their strength and blood . Remember the kingdom of God suffered violence and it should be taken by force.

Anybody who believes this story needs a refund of their education. All the pictures apart from the first and last are totally unrelated to the story.

I've noticed Nigerian journalists like to cook up stories and make more grammatical blunders than freelance writers or even students. Everything in this country needs an overhaul.

I wanted to put up a smiley but I suddenly realized that they may resale the chickens as frozen chicken-most probably because they are doing it for financial reasons.

This is serious. Custom is to blame. Burn ! Don't bury!

This is bad. If you have relatives in Rivers warn the person to desist from mama-put for some weeks. They will use it to cook for people. Nigerians should just help themselves. This is no about government again, it is about people bringing themselves problems after government has done its part.

When people start dropping dead...questions shouldn't be asked, for all we know these same products must have successfully made it pass other ports in Nigeria. Stay off frozen poultry people!! We don't have regulating bodies checking the kind of things coming into this country and it's a shame.
