Following Citi News’ report on fishmongers in Axim preparing some of the dolphins that were washed-ashore last week for sale, the Nzema East Municipal Chief Executive, Frank Okpenyen, with the support from the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and the Police have moved in to confiscate it.
When the team arrived, they found a basket full of already smoked dolphins together with about 20 dead dolphins.
They subsequently seized the dead sea mammals and the smoked ones.
Speaking to Citi News in Axim, the MCE said he is working hard to retrieve all the dolphins that were washed ashore but taken by individuals to their homes for sale or consumption.
He said he is doing to ensure the safety of the public.
