An unscheduled visit to an Abuja market by a Nigerian scientist has unearthed some shocking discoveries.

According to the Nigerian scientist who visited markets in the Utako and Garki area in Abuja on Wednesday June 12th with members of the Nigerian Food Sciences and Technology Institute.

"From traders mixing vegetable oil with transformer oil to fry Akara, to some traders using Sniper to keep flies away from dried fish" she wrote.

She added: No wonder we now have NIGERIAN YOUTHS & KIDS suffering Organ failure & Cancer "Yesterday, scientists under the umbrella of the Nigerian Food Sciences and Technology Institute went to inspect markets in Abuja (Utako and Garki Markets).

The things we discovered are heartbreaking:People who fry akara, puff-puff, yam, meat, fish, etc., use transformer oil mixed with vegetables or groundnut oil to fry the stuff.

Ariel detergent is used to ferment cassava for fufu, fish sellers spray sniper on dry fish to keep flies out.

In our abattoir, tyres and used plastics are used to roast slaughtered animals which are sold in the market. Please avoid food cooked outside your home if you can.

Where are the 'Mind your bizness' crew??

I find frying akara with transformer oil hard to believe because transformer cooling oil is more scarce and expensive than cooking oil. But what do I know?!
