'One Sip Destroys Life': Nigeria’s ‘Monkey Tail’ Drink Leaves at Least 49 Dead | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explores a devastating public health emergency unfolding in Nigeria, where a popular locally brewed drink known as 'monkey tail' has been linked to one of the deadliest alcohol poisoning outbreaks in recent years. Following a surge of casualties and hospitalizations in Ondo State, health officials confirmed that the cheap herbal concoction was secretly laced with industrial methanol—a lethal solvent causing sudden vision loss, organ failure, and death. In this report, we examine why desperate young workers turn to unregulated informal market substances amid punishing economic pressures, and how authorities are scrambling to pull remaining bottles off the streets before more lives are lost. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.00:00 – Tragic Outbreak
