Cross River State Tax Force on Development and Environmental Control has confisticated and buried a large quantity of beef and pork in three locations in Calabar as part of her efforts to ensure that butchers and meat sellers operate within acceptable hygiene standards in the preparation and vendoring of meat and beef to members of the public, www.calitown.com can reveal.
In Ika Ika Oqua market for instance, www.calitown.com could see portions of beef left on the floor and ‘tended’ by flies in the most unhygienic conditions. More stomach wrenching was the water used in washing the cow hide meant for sale in the market. While the sea of butchering activities have made the place marshy and extremely dirty, the butchers in the markets are undeterred and carry on doing business there without bating an eyelid.
While the demolitions take place after a 21 days notice has been served, those who claim that their property may have been demolished without any notice “are telling a very big lie and look certain to want to undermine the activities of the Stanley Okputu led tax force”, as another source put it.
