Viral Video Shows Man Pulling Mud-Caked Yams From a Lagos Gutter
A viral video recorded in Lagos has sparked outrage after showing a man pulling large, mud-covered yams from a stagnant open drain. The footage shows him repeatedly reaching into the debris-filled water and placing the tubers beside the gutter. The yams appear heavily soiled, raising immediate concerns about food safety and sanitation. The person who shared the video claimed the man said he was preserving the yams in the drain. However, some viewers believe the yams may have fallen in accidentally and were simply being recovered. The video does not clearly confirm either explanation. Regardless of why the yams were in the gutter, the clip has prompted strong reactions and renewed discussion about safe food handling and poor sanitation in densely populated parts of Lagos.
