A social media user resident in Lagos state was shocked to see a retailer selling rodents looking like house rats amid the Lassa fever scare in Nigeria.
The dried rat for sale
At Lagos Island, there is a market for rats which are fearlessly patronized by interested clients despite the surge of Lassa fever which has spread to over 16 states in Nigeria.
Lagos which is the commercial capital of Nigeria has a case of a Lassa fever infected patient who is currently recovering at an unnamed location.
