A Twitter user shared photos from an abattoir in Anambra State where meat is being handled in horrible conditions.
According to twitter user @Chybyke, he stumbled upon some butchers at the Kwata abattoir in Anambra State and was stunned by the way the meat was being handled.
According to him, the butchers were ‘washing’ the slain meat in muddy water, as a means of getting it ready for open market purchase. A disappointed @Chybyke had this to say:abattoirAnother eyewitness wrote:

“I Wish To Draw The Urgent Attention Of Anambra State Government Through The Hon. Commissioners For Health, Special Duties And Environment To What I Called A Mirage, Where Our People Are Given Poison At Kwata Abattoir. The Pictures Is Where These Animals Wash The Meat We Buy With Idei (Flood) Coming From Dike Street To The Abattoir To Iyiagu Area. I Think I Have Played My Part By Calling The Attention Of Heads Of Their Union. The State Government Should Look Into This As A Matter Of Urgency As It Involves Health.”abattoir1
