LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A hungry customer has allegedly discovered a human private in a plate of soup gotten from a food vendor in Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos.
The sight of the human part in her plate of soup, at GBO Plaza, in the market, resulted in pandemonium, as anxious traders and customers rushed to the scene to see the protruding human part in the plate of soup, Vanguard reports.
The middle-aged woman, simply identified as Ebere, reportedly found strange meat inside the plate of food she bought from a food vendor.
It was gathered that trouble started when Ebere, who sells household items opposite GBO Plaza, raised the alarm, while eating the food she bought from a vendor, and discovered that the meat in her plate looked like that of a male child’s private part.

An eye witness, who spoke with Vanguard Metro at the scene, said; “I was here when Ebere was eating, yesterday, and found the meat that looks like a little child’s private part. We all took turns to examine it. It didn’t look like that of goat or a dog.
“It was when she raised alarm that other traders came closer and on proper scrutiny, it was concluded that the seemingly turgid but, small human flesh must be that of a child.”
Other witnesses added that the alarmed food vendor was loudly proclaiming her innocence saying that she bought the meat from her regular supplier in the market.
The sordid drama was so intense to the extent that some of the traders that claimed to be regular customers of the food vendor were throwing up publicly lamenting that they have been eating human flesh for long thinking that it was delicious meat.

Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer, Alaba International Market, Ezeani Theophilus told Vanguard Metro that the incident was still under investigation.
According to him, “The food vendor doesn’t have a restaurant, she is a local food vendor.
“We have called on the police and investigation is ongoing.
“The food vendor claimed she bought the meat from a meat seller who hawks around the market. We don’t want to escalate the issue so that the meat seller won’t find out and flee from the market.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command, insist they are yet to receive such report and assured that once they get it, they will investigate the case thoroughly.
