Ibadan Strange Fish Was Baby -octopus- Police by Maxymilliano(m): 6:17pm On Jul 24, 2013

The owner of the fish is still being held by the police.

The Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Mohammed Ndabawa, on Wednesday described as untrue the story of a fish with human parts reported in Ibadan on Tuesday.

The Oyo State capital was thrown into confusion on Tuesday when a middle-age woman, Ramota Salawu, raised the alarm thata fish she bought at Gege area of the town suddenly turned into a half human.

Hundreds of residents trooped to Akindele Compound, Gege, to catch a glimpse of the ‘miracle fish’ in a bucket where it was kept.

But the police boss, while addressing reporters in his office in Ibadan on Wednesday, said the object was a baby octopus, assuring the residents that they have no reason to fear.

He said people were merely spreading falsehood on the internet concerning the fish.

Ms. Salawu, who claimed to have bought the strange fish at Oke Ado, where she usually buys the item, claimed that it developed into aliving being shortly after it defrosted.

To debunk her claims, the state police boss displayed the fish to journalists on Wednesday.

He also said the woman was placed under protective custody and would be released when tension within the town is doused.

As someone who regularly eats this particular specie of cephalopod, I agree wholeheartedly.

That's what happens when the larger part of the Nigerian population that own cable TV watch "Africa Magic" rather than educate themselves with "Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Nat Geo wild" and other educative channels.

If wonder why no one was able to identified it immediately.

I never believed the human fish story.
What we need in this country is education,quality education to emancipate our lives and existence.
We are currently bugged down by the insensitivity of the political class and the religious bourgeois.

A squid is a squid, and an octopus is an octopus. They are different. The police, just like the pple, displayed crass ignorance on this one.

So you believe in the over hype by those attention seeking journalists? I've been in Ibadan since Sunday and I never heard of the incidence, read it first on Nairaland.
They even called Ibadan a town, a place housing over 3million people and the country's biggest city(land mass) undecided undecided
You see how mumu they(ibadan journalists) are?! undecided undecided
They need to leave their enclaves of bere, mapo, olodo, oje, molete, sabo, shasha, ikolaba....
*i give up on Ibadan journalists*
