A man who contaminated adult and baby food in Germany has been sentenced

A man who contaminated adult and baby food in Germany has been sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison for attempted murder and extortion.

The 54-year-old admitted placing poisoned jars of food in supermarkets and blackmailing retailers by offering to identify items, local media report.

He targeted retailers in the southern city of Friedrichshafen last year.

The food jars contained enough ethylene glycol, an odourless toxic liquid, to kill a child, prosecutors said.

Traces of the toxin were found in several products in large enough quantities to justify finding the man guilty of five counts of attempted murder, Germany’s Deutsche Welle reported.

The colourless substance used for the contamination, which is an ingredient used in antifreeze, has a sweet taste and is known to attract children and animals.

As he appeared at the court in the town of Ravensburg on Tuesday, the man admitted sending threatening emails warning that food would be poisoned throughout Europe unless he received almost €12m.

#podiumpolitics

Alhaji Ishaq Hadejia, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State has called for the resignation of the minister of water resources, Alhaji Suleiman Adamu with immediate effect.

Hadejia stated this while speaking to the sources in Dutse on Monday.

He alleged that Adamu has not been coming for political meetings or activities in the state because he said that he is not a politician.

Hadejia also criticised Adamu for abandoning Jigawa by refusing to collaborate with the ministry of agriculture to harness the potentials in it.

“If that is the reason for the minister, he should better resign it is because of politics he was given the appointment.

“It is really unfortunate that if something happened in the state, whether good or bad, you will never see the minister coming to rejoice or sympathise with the people.

“The recent flood which submerged over 500 communities in the state, with 40 deaths including lost of foodstuff, properties, farmlands, live stocks, the minister did not even bother to come and sympathise with the people,” Hadejia added.
