Illegal Abattoir: Lagos Govt Confiscates Live, Slaughtered Animals, Dislodges Butchers
LAGOS SEPTEMBER 4TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Lagos State government on Thursday began the dislodgement of illegal slaughter slabs (abattoirs) in the state and seized both live and slaughtered cows and rams during the dislodgment in one of the abattoirs.
During the dislodgment exercise, the team, which arrived very early in the morning when the butchers were just starting to kill the animals, seized some of the cows and rams that were just killed while also going away with live cows and rams.
According to the state government in its twitter handle, @followlasg, the dislodgment became necessary following too many illegal slaughter slabs in the state and the need to ensure proper hygiene in killing of the animals.
According to the state government, the exercise, which is a continuous one, will continue until all the illegal slaughter slabs in the state are dislodged and sanity is brought to the meat value chain in the state.
