Nigeria's Customs Sends Out Red Alert On Chicken Smuggled Into Nigeria

The Nigeria Customs Service, Ogun Area 1 Command, has warned the public against the consumption of smuggled frozen poultry products due to its health implications.


The command’s Comptroller, Mr James Ojo, gave the warning in an interview on Monday in Ota.
According to him, the World Health Organization; Centre for Disease Control and Prevention; Food and the Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, described the consumption of smuggled frozen poultry products as having adverse effects on the health of the people.
Ojo said, “The frozen poultry products smuggled into Nigeria from the Republic of Benin were preserved with chemicals and often lacked proper regulatory oversight, increasing the risk of harmful chemicals being used for preservation.

Why allow it into the country in the first place? That's why we have customs regulations. It's only God that is keeping us. Pls we can do better.

Although I don't want to disprove this news, I feel they made this announcement cos the owners of this product outsmarted them, and the only way to ensure they don't thrive in the business is to say the chicken is contaminated.

What was their job in the first place?

Same custom responsible for vetting everything before it enters the country saying this? Lol.
For your info, nothing can enter the country without the knowledge of custom personnels

In one market close to my house, they slaughter birds and share the parts into 4 or 5 for sale every Sunday. Better option.
