There are reports that due to high costs and unavailability of cow and goat meats which most people in Cross River State particularly relish in their delicacies, snake, donkeys and horse meats are being sold in some markets in Calabar and other bigger towns in the state.
This allegation was made during an Efik language phone-in programme on a private radio, FAD FM.
A woman resident who gave her name as Mary Okoko alleged that due to the high costs of cows and goats, some mischievous traders now sell donkey and snake meats to unsuspecting buyers.
She said most people in the state and other Niger Delta States do not eat snakes let alone donkeys or horses.
The callers said they no longer eat quality or good portions of meat as they used to do before now as a result.
In the 1-hour radio phone-in programme, all callers spoke angrily over their inability to afford the costs of cow or goat meats in local markets.
