 Tears flowed freely recently in many homes of the State following the shocking incidence of sudden deaths that occurred in some communities of the State after some persons were said to have consumed dog meat and the locally made gin. 

The Permanent Secretary, Rivers State Ministry of Health, Lawrence Isaac-Harry, in a session with media put figures to the reports of deaths. As at the last count, as many as 30 people have died causing panic in the area. A resident of Woji, one of the most affected communities of the incidence, Adiele Ejegun, said Dog meat and the locally made gin are the best delicacies of the residents. Used pots and a fire place perhaps used for roasting the Dog meat, were seen at the drinking spot, which had turned to a shadow of itself owing to an alleged attack by some angry residents. A 43 year old survivor, John Chime, also said in an interview that he is lucky to be alive.
