Four women were arrested yesterday in Benin City for selling donkey meat, known as ‘jaki,’ to unsuspecting buyers at the New Benin Market in Edo State.
Permanent Secretary, Edo State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Mr. Peter Aikhuomobhogbe, who led the team to effect the arrest, said the team was alerted that some persons were engaged in the sale of the meat despite its prohibition in the state.
“Some of these animals being processed for human consumption have not undergone any form of inspection. Any animal that has not been inspected before being presented for human consumption is considered unsafe.” MEANWHILE, a middle-aged-man, Emmanuel Asemota, has been arrested by the police in Edo for allegedly beating his wife to death for denying him sex.
