called the attention of the police & handed the suspect over to them,
before then, he confessed to us, that, he uses dead meat bones to attract the
vultures & then uses chemicals to kill them, & he has been in this
business for years, selling them to market women & chicken traders at Major
markets & chicken sales point in the state”, Godwin said.
