About 18 cows have died after allegedly grazing on a fumigated farmland in Vwei community, Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
According to local sources who spoke to Zagazola Makama, the incident occurred around 12 noon on Wednesday when the cattle, belonging to one Dan’azumi Haruna, strayed into the treated farmland.
Seven of the cows were reportedly slaughtered due to contamination, while 11 died on the spot.
Fifteen other cattle affected by the chemical exposure are currently receiving treatment, the source added.
In another development, the Plateau State Government has launched an investigation into the alleged poisoning of 36 cows in the state.
The cattle said to belong to one Samaila Nuhu, were reportedly poisoned on April 16, 2025, at Tafi Gana Junction in Zanwar Ward of Bassa Local Government Area.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Commissioner for Information, Mrs Joyce Ramnap, the government said it is investigating the matter through the Ministry of Livestock Development, Veterinary Services, and Fisheries, noting that a team of experts has been deployed to collect samples and determine the cause of the incident.
