Four Edo women nabbed for selling banned donkey meat The Punch Published 15 July 2021 Four women were on Wednesday arrested in Benin City, Edo State, for selling donkey meat, known as ‘Jaki’, to unsuspecting buyers at the New Benin Market. The Permanent Secretary of the state Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Mr Peter Aikhuomobhogbe, who led officials to make the arrest, said the team was alerted that some persons were engaged in the sale of the meat despite its prohibition. He stated, “This is an issue of food safety. In Edo State, donkey meat is not approved as one of the meats that we consume, but our people still indulge in its sale. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that we eradicate its consumption in Edo State.
