This story never made headlines in our local news so I'm wondering where BBC got the story from. According to their Swahili website, a Nigerian restaurant was reportedly shut down for cooking human flesh and serving it to customers. ( DailyMail did the translation
and published today. It already has over 2300 shares, still counting and comments from their readers aren't nice at all. Making us look so horrible! )
Police were allegedly tipped off by locals who suspected something horrific was taking place inside the kitchen. They
raided the hotel restaurant to discover human heads which were still dripping with blood in plastic bags.
A local priest who ate at the restaurant -in the south-eastern province of Anambra - was alarmed at the price of
meals there, let alone where the meat came from, BBC Swahili reported. He was
presented with a bill of 700 Naira - around £2.20 - when the daily wage for tens of millions of Nigerians is approximately 60p. The priest said:
'The attendant noticed my
reaction and told me it was thesmall piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high.
I did not know I had been served with human meat, and that it was that expensive.'
The police also found a terrifying arsenal of weapons which included grenades
when they raided the restaurant. Ten people were arrested in connection to the crimes.
One resident said:
'I am not surprised at the
shocking revelation... Every time I went to the market, I observed strange activities going on in the hotel. People who were never cleanly dressed and who looked a
bit strange made their way in and out of the hotel, making me very suspicious of their activities.'
