The Borno Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence
Corps(NSCDC), reported today that it had just pounced on butchers who
specialize in selling dead meat to unsuspecting buyers. The state
commander said that the suspects were caught and arrested at the
Murtala square in Maiduguri.

He said that the butchers went about picking up animal carcasses
from around the town at night, and selling them to buyers. He also
said that the animals were infected with diseases like tuberculosis
and bacterial pneumonia. And consuming them could pose serious health
issues to humans.
It was also discovered that the suspects were not members of the
butchers association in the state. Abdullahi ended his statement by
warning people to be careful with road side meat sellers.
