Family of 7 die after ‘poisonous’ meal in Zamfara
According to the Zamfara police, seven family members perished after eating the local delicacy Dambu—a dish made of corn and vegetables—for dinner.

SP Mohammed Shehu, the command's public relations officer, told reporters that the command has started an inquiry to determine what caused the family members' deaths in the hamlet of Danbaza in the State's Maradun Local Government Area.

“The incident happened on Monday immediately after the family took the meal prepared as their dinner.

“The police has taken samples of the meal for analysis and I assure the general public that results would be released to newsmen,” Shehu said.

A resident of the village, Muhammad Kabir, who is close to the family told newsmen that four of the victims including two married women and five teenagers died on the spot while the three others died after they were rushed to a nearby hospital.

“As soon as the family members finished eating the meal, four of them died on the spot.

“The three others were rushed to hospital, but they later died while receiving treatment,” Kabir said.
