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.

But we dey eat am since, y we nvr die? Na bcos una wan ban all importation, una suddenly realize say imported chicken dey poisonous.
On a second thought, this could be true o, considering d high rate of kidney disease, cancer and other illnesses killing us by d day, it wasn't ds way in d past. Maybe they r right.
I go begin chop native fowl , I no fit come beg for Nigerians for millions thru LIB to go do surgery abroad.
Why would they bury it instead of Yall to burn it huh
this is so true
Why would they just bury them knowing they are hazardous to human health? Why didn't they use acid to destroy them after defrosting. This same thing happened in port harcourt, it was widely reported, but Nigerian customs wouldn't learn. It's obvious it could be a deal to enable it's owners come back for them later. Mtsheeeeeeeeeeeew
It beats me how some people prefer frozen chicken to life ones. You can even ask d vendor to skin and cut it up. Its even tastier. Well...
Bad market for frozen chicken sellers.
Hia, there are diff ways to destroy such stuff other than burying it....u could use a caterpillar to run thru them, or grind them with some huge machinery use in destruction of quarantined stuff in the US from custom etc...didn't they hear what happened in Ph? They aint serious tho..I eat live chicken anyway.. better taste
why were they not burnt instead of buried. Are there no incinerators in nigeria?
Are they trying to tell us that they are working or what. if truly they are, why didn't they unwrap it first. cause the best bet is to burn, grind with machines, acid or chemicals. These are all gist cos they only knew where they buried it and so they are the same that dogged it up n retail to the masses.
Nigeria is full of CORRUPTION, we should all BEWARE.
