•To Investigate allegation

THE House of Representatives on Wednesday alerted Nigerians on the alleged existence of cancer-causing tomato pastes imported into the country by some unscrupulous people with a promised to unmask those behind the dastardly act.

It has therefore mandated its Committee on Health Services and Drug and Narcotics to investigate the alleged importation of the said fake, substandard and cancerous products into the country with a view to identifying them, their importers as well as promoters and distributors said to have circulated the nation's market with the products at very cheap prices.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion under matters of urgent public importance moved on the floor of the House yesterday by Hon Ossai Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta State).

Hon Osai while referring to a publication in a national newspaper of May 9, 2016, alleged that there was a cabal who had boasted that nothing could stop them from importing the fake and substandard tomato paste into the country.

According to him, "this ugly development of importation of cancer infested tomato paste is killing a lot of Nigerians and it is reported that this mafia group is collaborating with few indigenous manufacturers in Nigeria who are being used as a cover up to distribute the killer products."

Hon Ossai expressed worries that the "fake, substandard and cancer-causing tomato paste" has flooded the Nigerian markets with low prices, which had compelled the closing down of ingenious tomato companies in Nigeria and had led to the laying off of over 50 per cent of their workforce.

The motion was unanimously passed with the committees given three weeks to report back to the House for further legislative input.

Would have made more sense if they release the name of the tomato paste so people can identify and avoid purchasing them.

Ok

Some times I wonder if any good news can come out of this buhari government

Dragonking:
[size=17pt]The people causing this scarcity are the northerners because Dangote now produces tomato paste in sachet, hence they are promoting his sales while the masses suffer[/size]

This was my post in this thread on how dangote and his fellow northern brothers are using this tomato issh to cause scarcity and make more money; https://www.nairaland.com/3112018/tomato-scarcity-anyone-used-dried#45729196

Now they have released a tomato paste to wipe the southern part of nigeria out

Thats is why the name of the company is hidden..Remember dangote paste was closed down not too long ago for issue we were not specifically told.

The southern nigeria needs to be careful

Not now..

Its only in Nigeria that someone is giving birth to and named Cabal

Please Nigerians take this warning serious oooh

ok we hear but make the government do something before something do us…..

stories and wahala every day

Handy work of de people from de east

This is not an alert. It does not help anyone. A killer tomato paste without name? The house reps disappoints me. No thorough incestigation. How do Nigerians avoid buying the said product without knowing its name?

They should do better.

Karma!

I want to believe that Hon. Ossai already knows, or suspect at least, the cabal and the liased local manufacturers, but for the purpose of underground investigation, no need to make public.

But he should have told us the brand labels of these bokoharamic tomanto paste, just like we knew about indomie back then.

Waiting for the thread Ossai denies this thread

Na lie 0. Dangote arrangee to scatter foreign tomato.
If it's true, what is the name of the tomato so that people can look out for it?
Remember something like this was done to Indomie.

But is ok. Patronise home made goods, patronise Dangote tomato.

spare us this grammer and tell us the brand name of the killer tomato paste.

So they cannot tell us the name of the tomato paste?
mtscheeew!

Bunch of stup!d illiterates....what good is this warning to the public when they can't give the name of the product?

I swear there are people who studied and still study journalism in naija...
Which one be "cabal", deadly tomato paste without name..killed people and causing cancer (proof?)..
I tire
