The Imo State government said it hopes such incident does not reoccur.

Shortly, his vehicle was surrounded by three men working for the Imo State task force on vehicle emblem, he said. The men and the police officers demanded the Imo State emblem which the vehicle did not have.Mr Silas said he explained to the officer that the chicks could die “in the next five minutes” because of the weather if they delayed him any further.

“It took about five minutes to get to where the owners of the chicks were staying,” he said. “I tried reaching them on phone, but the calls were not connecting.” Chijioke Nicholas, the chairman, Poultry Association of Nigeria, Imo State, who corroborated Mr Silas’ story, told PREMIUM TIMES that it was through his intervention that they were able to trace the vehicle to a local park that serves as an operational base for the task force.

Mr Nicholas, angered by what happened, ordered that the dead chicks should be brought out from the minivan and spread on the ground “for the world to see”.“There are between three to four thousand birds here,” Mr Nicholas voice could be heard in the video as he zoomed in on the dead chicks.
