The husband of Yellow Sisi Special Waakye seller, Kojo [Not his real name], is skeptical about the future of his wife’s business following the recent food poisoning incident.
According to him, the unfortunate happening has traumatised his wife, adding that he is unsure that the business will bounce back again despite it being a major source of livelihood for his family.
He stressed that his wife haboured no ill intentions and would never have deliberately put people in harm's way.
"My wife can't do anything bad to her family nor her customers because we eat the same food anytime it's prepared.
“My wife, one of her sales ladies and my daughter also reported to the hospital for treatment after eating the food. There is no way she will do anything to harm her customers," he said in an interview with Citi FM.
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) confirmed in a statement that only one person died from the incident contrary to the earlier report that five people had died. They added that about 53 persons were hospitalized as a result.
According to Citi News, the deceased man was the landlord of the parcel of land where the waakye joint is located at a place called Bush Canteen at Oyibi.
Meanwhile, the FDA has launched an investigation into the incident.
