The Lagos State Government has warned Lagosians against eating exhumed and contaminated chicken that are in circulation within the state as they pose a serious health risk to everyone.

The Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Toyin Suarau, said some imported poultry products that are contaminated were seized by the Nigeria Customs Service in Badagry and buried but were later exhumed by some people who planned to sell them to unsuspecting members of the public.

Suarau disclosed this on Saturday while receiving officials of the National Orientation Agency who came to inform Lagosians about the dangers of consuming the contaminated food.

The commissioner said the imported poultry produce was preserved with chemicals like formalin which was poisonous, adding that it could lead to slow death.

Suarau said the poisonous products were not as nutritious as freshly processed poultry meat because imported poultry meat had been preserved for months and years with dangerous chemicals.

Source.. do people still import Chicken? Was it not banned by Ex President Obasanjo years back?

How will they excavate buried stuffs to sell to people to eat? People can be heartless o
I'm loving this news. This shows that someone(commisioner),somewhere is working fine.

Lalasticala pls frontpage this before somebody dies.

Na only lagosians una de warn

How heartless can some people get, exhuming banned stuff to sell. Nawa o.

The heart of man is so wicked. So people no longer value precious life that they can sell a decomposed chemical ridden chicken to the general public for consumption.

The minister should try to burn such exhibit next time rather than burying them.
