The bird is from the Animal Research Centre, Germany. It recently landed in the net of a fisherman in Zaria Kala-Kala, Kebbi State, while trying to drink some water. But instead of the man to kill it, he took it to Kebbi State Livestock Investigation and Breading Centre.
The manager of the centre, Dr Yakubu Dominic, said the bird was quarantined and samples taken have been sent to Vom for further investigation because the bird could be carrying the Bird-flu virus.
The German Embassy in Nigeria has been notified of the development. Dominic called on people of the state not to consume strange animals seen on their farms or residence, but to report such discoveries to relevant authorities.
