…Preliminary investigation reveals grazing on contaminated grasses

The Kwara State Government on Monday,buried all confiscated meat from the alleged poisonous animals slaughtered for public consumption around the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies (CAILS) in Ilorin.

This follows several measures put in place to prevent people from consuming the suspected meat from the alleged poisonous animals in the state.

In a statement released by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mrs. Funke Sokoya, recalled that the State Government, through the collaborative effort of the Ministries of Agriculture, Health, Environment, and the State Environmental Protection Agency, in partnership with other concerned stakeholders including the Iyaloja of Mandate Market, all agreed to suspend slaughtering activities for three consecutive days beginning from yesterday (Monday), to allow for proper fumigation of the slaughter slab against any residual effect.

Meanwhile, a preliminary investigation on the incident shows that the cause of the ugly incident was as a result of grazing on contaminated grasses around the area.

According to the statement, the Ministry of Agriculture would intensify its surveillance at different abattoirs in the state, especially the private and government abattoirs.

In his submission, the Director of Veterinary Services, Dr. Olugbon Abdullateef Saliman,said, “Private slaughter slabs, will have to reduce their number to the level that the Ministry could manage.

“If the slaughter slab is not following our standard it will be closed down, and those closed down will be directed to the government slaughter slabs.

“Any private slaughter slab that is close to the government slab will be directed to go and slaughter at the government slaughter slabs.
“By this standard, we will be able to monitor what they slaughter and give to the populace”, the statement added.
