'Allah meat' astounds Nigerians
The gristle spells out the word "Allah" in Arabic
Diners have been flocking to a restaurant in northern Nigeria to
see pieces of meat which the owner says are inscribed with the name of Allah.
What looks like the Arabic word for God and the name of the prophet
Muhammad were discovered in pieces of beef by a diner in Birnin Kebbi.
He was about to eat it, when he suddenly noticed the words in the
gristle, the restaurant owner said.
A search of the kitchen's meat revealed three more pieces which
bore the names.
The meat was boiled and then fried before being served, owner
Kabiru Haliru told newspaper Weekly Trust.
"When the writings were discovered there were some Islamic scholars
who come and eat here and they all commented that it was a sign to show that
Islam is the only true religion for mankind," he said.
The restaurant has kept the pieces of meat for visitors to see.
Thousands of people have already gone to the restaurant to see them
since they were discovered last week.
A vet told the newspaper the words "defied scientific explanation".
"Supposing only one piece of meat was found then it would be
suspicious, but given the circumstances there is no explanation," Dr Yakubu
Dominic said.
