This was contained in a statement signed by the Command’s spokesman, Mr Babawale Afolabi,  and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Ilorin.

Afolabi said that the two suspects were arrested in Patigi, Edu Local Government Area of Kwara.

“Around 8 p.m., on Sep. 18, NSCDC officers at Patigi Divisional Headquarters, acted on information received and arrested Nawali Bala, a native of Okoloke, Kogi, with some contaminated cow meat.
