Lokoja.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The government also directed residents of Lokoja to stay off consumption of beef for seven days not to fall victim of some of the poisoned meat allegedly already in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cWhat the government is able to bury today is a good number of the affected cows and not all of them,\u201d an official said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kogi Command, Suleiman Mafara, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe Agro Rangers Unit of the command alongside the Department of Livestock and Vetenirary Services of the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as the Sanitation Board of the Ministry of Environment, have conducted a confirmatory test on the carcasses of the cows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe test result showed that the carcasses contained poisonous content and thereby inedible and not fit for human consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cConsequently, the government is advising the residents of Kogi, particularly this within Lokoja, where the incident happened, to avoid consumption of cow meat in the next seven days,\u201d he advised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Mr Madara quickly assured the public that the officials of the command and other security operatives were doing everything possible to calm any form of tension that might arise from the unfortunate development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">He said that the command had sent out surveillance teams who were still maintaining peace in the environment as well as combatant officers in the event of any threat of reprisal attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Also speaking, Head, Agro Rangers Unit of the NSCDC State Command, Bayode Emmanuel, said that the butchers association in the markets was carried along in the whole process of the investigation and examination of the carcasses to the burial of the cows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Mr Emmanuel explained that the carcasses of the cows recovered were subjected to the prescribed standard of treatment before they were buried which was witnessed by all the relevant stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">NAN reports that the Director of Veterinary Services, Kogi Ministry of Agriculture, Salau Tarawa, had on Thursday advised residents to shun cow meat for at least one week as the 20 cows might have ingested poisonous substances while grazing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p
