I reside in Edo state. How come it was not on local television stations?
But my general appeal to everybody is: lets not drag any political party into this.

oba009: the handy work of Poverty Development Party PDP to cause ciaos in edo state b4 the coming election

Lets not start bringing politic into this matter. What concerns political party with infested beef? Did the party infest the said cow?

Anurugwo: The officials of Edo State Veterinary Services have reported the circulation of tuberculosis infested beef. Dr Charles Aibaogun the Director of Veterinary Services gave the warning at the weekend in Benin. He said the infested beef is being sold in markets by traders who brought them from unapproved slaughter houses across the state.

He said some of the infested organs were discovered in the course of meat inspection in an abattoir in Benin City.

Is it true?[img]http://www.50centloseweight.com[/img]

Attention!!! We have our own "beaf" @ nairaland,so lets organize 4 a "TB" test..hey beaf r u there?

We should not over heat the polity and create unnecessary panic with this tuberculosis issue. Veterinarians at the ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources owe it as a responsibility to enlighten the general public on public health matters. The said carcass was seen during normal routine meat inspection at the abattoir. The ministry decided to use the case to enlighten the public on tuberculosis and the need while people should buy meat from sources where meat inspection service are available.

The Observer captured the story in its' front page. For other news agencies to change the story just in an attempt to get people to read with the caption "Tuberculosis Infested Beef in Circulation in the Edo State" is the height of journalistic irresponsibility and recklessness. NUJ should please caution its member on the need to be very professional in their news reportage.

We like being in denial, if there is an infested cow its important that the problem be identified and nipped
