“The cargo was damaged on transit to Nigeria and the vessel had to discharge the container in WACT Onne. The already decomposed product was eventually conveyed to Aluu dump site near Port Harcourt where it evacuated into a dug pit, and buried.’’

The statement also quoted the Director in charge of South-South Zone, Mr Subulade Isijola as saying NAFDAC coordinated the destruction of the contaminated beans in order to prevent them from entering the market and protect the health of Nigerians.
