The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has arrested two persons in -charge of cold room at Garki International market for alleged involvement in sale of rotten chicken to Costumers

Head, Monitoring and Enforcement Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB), Kaka Bello who led security personnel with officials of the board, said he got the report from the market management and the public complaints commission.

He said: “We are here base on the report we received from the market management and the public complaints commission. We have been going round to talk about environmental issues generally, but today we are here to talk about environmental health issues.

“So, we have taken the two persons operating the cold room into custody for more findings to make sure that the rotten meat is not transported to another place for sale. “

Bello who warned that such act was unacceptable, said the board would investigate further to ensure that the rotten meat were not evacuated to another market.

“We are going to charge them to court after necessary investigations are concluded, and they will pay for their sins. People cannot come to market to buy what to eat for their good health, and buy rotten items. This is unacceptable” he said.
