Authorities of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede community, Imo State, have arrested some persons over their attempts to sell poisonous dry meat in the school.
In an internal memo signed by Okonkwo Anthoney Eroefula for the Registrar, Mrs Eucharia Chidima Anuna, the school authorities said that the suspected dry meat sellers had been handed over to the Nigeria Police.
The Registrar said that the people were intercepted by the institution’s security personnel and during interrogations, they confessed to have come from a certain street in Aba in Abia State.
She said that when the dry meat sellers were asked to taste the meat, they refused and that immediately raised suspicion that the meat could be dangerous to human health.
“Nobody actually knows their intention in this regard, ” she explained.
Meanwhile, the authorities of the institution have warned the Polytechnic community, especially the students, to beware of what they consume forthwith.
Anuna advised everyone to report any suspicious movement on the campus to the security personnel for prompt action.
