Kaka Bello, the head of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board , perfected the arrest, following a tip-off from the market management and the Public Complaints Commission.
“The board received information of stock pilled chicken and meat which has already decayed and unfortunately those operating the cold room are selling them to the public, and is not good for human consumption, before we came in here, the meat has been evacuated, according to the people we saw operating the cold room.
“This is for the public to know that such action is not allowed in the Federal Capital Territory, basically we know that they have been selling these things before the market management and Public Complaints commission get to know about it and alerted us. DAILY POST recalls that the prices of chicken, eggs and other poultry products have gone up beyond the reach of average Nigerians.
