Men spotted spraying ‘Sniper’ on beans to kill weevils

A man has raised alarm after he spotted some men using Sniper as a pesticide to kill weevils in beans.

Sniper is known to be a very dangerous insecticide that should be used outdoors and should never come in contact with food.

But, in a bid to make profit, the beans sellers used it to ensure their beans stays weevil-free.

The young man who saw them said he has seen this happen multiple times at Iddo market but they never listen to him whenever he challenges their unscrupulous practice. He wrote;

Short of words! Snippers as preservatives? I actually saw these a couple of times at iddo market.

I challenged them severally,but hey am just an individual who is ready to eat clean.

What we buy from the open market isn’t monitored by any regulatory body here in Nigeria,in short Africa.

Just sick and tired of all these.
