A report by website Gbam TV claims the World Health Organization has warned people in the south of Nigeria to stop eating meat from cows reared by the Fulani community in the north.
It also claims the WHO’s director-general Tedros Adhanom said this was due to a “cattle plague... culpable of killing citizens”.
The report says the “plague” was caused on purpose, with a political motive.
“According to him, the cow meat have all been infested by the Fulanis with the intention to wipe out the Southerners, more especially, the Yorubas and Igbos with the cow diseases before 2028.”
The WHO Nigeria and ministry of health have debunked the alarming claim, issuing a joint statement that they “strongly dissociate themselves from the misleading message being propagated via social media”.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has described the claim as a “completely FALSE” rumour.
“The general public is advised to note that there are no cases of bovine tuberculosis reported to NCDC, nor are there concerns of this in the country at the moment.
“The public is advised to ensure that meat and other food to be consumed is well cooked and safely handled to avoid the spread of foodborne illnesses,” the statement says. - Africa Check
