A woman was shocked to witness a stockfish seller pouring Sniper, a powerful insecticide, onto the pile of stockfish he was selling to unsuspecting customers.
The woman, who had visited the market to purchase fish, could not ignore her concerns about the seller’s actions. Motivated by health and safety reasons, she decided to advise the man to stop adding the toxic chemical to the stockfish.
The stockfish seller’s response, however, was even more alarming. “There’s no fish in Nigeria that they don’t add this medicine to,” he said, referring to the Sniper insecticide as a form of “medicine.”
Determined to verify the claims, the woman asked the seller to show her the “medicine” he was using. To her surprise, the man produced a bottle of Sniper and displayed it proudly.
This alarming discovery raises serious concerns about the safety and integrity of the food supply in local markets. Sniper, a powerful pesticide, is highly toxic and can have devastating effects on human health if consumed.
The incident has sparked outrage by netizens online who are calling for immediate action to address this dangerous practice and ensure the safety of all consumers. Authorities have been urged to investigate the matter thoroughly and take the necessary steps to protect public health.
