Two years after Ebola, bush meat business booms again in Lagos

Some bush meat sellers in some major markets have said the business is booming again barely two years after the country was declared Ebola Virus Disease free.

Some of the bush meat sellers in Lagos on Saturday said that they were fully back to their business.
According to them, their customers, who deserted them because of fear of contracting Ebola, are back and they are experiencing more patronage.

A bush meat vendor at Ajegunle-Ikorodu Road, a popular road side market along Ikorodu axis known for bush meat business, Mr. Aminu Badaru, said he had been experiencing high patronage.

Badaru said he is now making more money compared to when there was EVD outbreak.
