Six animals infected with Anthrax disease have been confiscated, burnt and buried by officials of the Lagos State Government to prevent its spread.
This was made known in a statement by Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Agriculture, Olatokunbo Emokpae, who said the cases were discovered during surveillance of animals on Lagos Island and Agege.
Emokpae said no case of human infection had either been identified or reported since the discovery of Anthrax disease in the state.
She called on animal owners to take advantage of the free vaccination activities and monitoring which was launched last week
