    Despite the warning of bird flu started in Benin after the reappearance of the H5N1 virus earlier this week in neighboring Nigeria, importation of poultry of great Eastern neighbor continues. This Wednesday, January 21, 2015, a large number of day-old chicks -2150- from the country of President Goodluck Jonathan was going to be spilled on the national market by an economic operator; were it not for the vigilance of the services responsible for control of poultry transactions that have taken place in time to get hold of such prohibited cargo.
