Woman arrested for using maggot-infested ingredient for her shito

A 58-year-old woman has been arrested for using unwholesome ingredients to prepare hot black pepper sauce, known as shito, for public consumption in Koforidua in the Eastern Region, Ghana.

The suspect is reported to have been gathering disposed shito ingredients like rotten tomatoes, onion and ginger peels among others from food joints in the community.

She then takes the worms and maggot infested chunks to a mill machine to grind them together for the preparation of her unhealthy product.

Residents who had observed her for a long time decided to keep a close eye on her out of curiosity to unravel what she uses the blended ingredients for.

They discovered that she has been selling the waste products as shito to members of the public at a popular kenkey joint in Koforidua.

She was arrested and taken into custody at the Koforidua Central Police station where she’s assisting with investigations.
