“Is the day-old chicks you are carrying more important than the (police) uniform I am wearing?” the driver said the officer told him.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

Mr Silas said he explained to the officer that the chicks could die “in the next five minutes” because of the weather if they delayed him any further.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

The men and the police officers demanded the Imo State emblem which the vehicle did not have.
Mr Silas’ vehicle, however, had a ‘consolidated’ emblem on it.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

The officer, armed with a rifle, inspected the chicks packed in several cartons inside the minivan, the driver said.
Shortly, his vehicle was surrounded by three men working for the Imo State task force on vehicle emblem, he said.

I told him, please, I was carrying day-old chicks, and that he should allow me to go,” Mr Silas told PREMIUM TIMES, Saturday.

He said he arrived Owerri around 8:50 a.m.
“I was very close to my final destination (in Owerri) where the owners of the chicks were waiting before a policeman stopped me at a checkpoint.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

The driver said he left Kaduna around 9 p.m., travelled through the night – about 687 km – so he could get to Owerri early in the morning to avoid the chicks being affected by harsh weather.

Tega Silas, the driver of a Toyota Sienna, who transported the day-old chicks – 8,000 of them – from a hatchery in Kaduna State, said he pulled over on the Owerri road on the order of the police officers manning a roadblock.

Some owners, especially those whose vehicles travel across several states, however, prefer to get a ‘consolidated’ emblem which allows for easy passage through states and saves them the clumsiness of having to buy emblem from every state.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

Various states in Nigeria, for the purposes of revenue-generation, require commercial vehicle owners to affix state emblem on their vehicle.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

The incident which happened in Owerri has been attributed to a rash decision by two police officers and three task force officials who were insisting that the vehicle should have had Imo State emblem on it.

HOW IMO OFFICIALS CAUSED DEALTH OF OVER 3,000 DAY-OLD CHICKS

Over 3,000 day-old chicks were left to die under the sun, on Thursday, inside a vehicle impounded illegally by task force officials in Imo State.

Dogs can eat raw eggs, they likely shouldn’t. The risk of salmonella infection combined with the fact that raw eggs aren’t more nutritious than cooked make raw eggs more trouble than they’re really worth.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

Salmonella is also zoonotic, which means your dog can pass the infection on to you.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

While these aren’t the only symptoms Salmonellosis may cause, it’s a good idea to take a trip to the vet to have your dog tested.

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

The symptoms of Salmonellosis in dogs are:
-Fever (Learn how to check your dog’s temperature.)
-Lethargy
-Vomiting
-Diarrhea
-Refusal to eat

[AnimalSupportNig @AnimalsupportNg]

If a dog eats an egg contaminated by Salmonella bacteria, they run the risk of contracting Salmonellosis, an infection caused by the bacterium.
