The commissioner said in a statement that the incident occurred on Monday in Danzanke village of Bargaja ward of Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
He explained that the incident was caused by the use of a fertiliser type of chemical, popularly called “Gishirin Lalle in Hausa” as a seasoning in domestic family cooking, which was considered as common salt.
“Regrettably, the entire family who ate the meal lost their lives, except two female members, who merely tasted the food and are currently responding to treatment, with very good chances of survival.
“Attempts to save the lives of all the affected people by providing the needed medical care proved abortive,” Inname said.
The commissioner urged the public to learn from this incident and keep away such poisonous chemicals from easy reach.
He further appealed to people to always be cautious to prevent reoccurrence in their families.
He said that it was very important for the public to know that the incidence was preventable and not contagious, as it was extremely fatal, even with the best medical attention given to victims.

ReplyDeleteIt's common in the north, even with this event, alot of them will still eat it today saying they've been cooking and eating it since. Ignorance 🤷♂️
They need enlightenment and a solid education. I hope others learn from this situation, because if the death of 24 ppl doesn't open their eyes nothing will.
DeleteSuch a shame their government keep them ignorant.
Be calming down down, no one eats gishirin lalle in the north, it looks like salt, they mistakenly used it in place of salt.
