According to a source, the incident took place on 11 December. When the finger was discovered, workers were reportedly preparing maize for grinding to be used in the production of opaque beer (masese).
“It was a shock to us. Many people ran away because for the years that I have worked here, I have been used to seeing dead rats but not this. It was a traumatising experience,” said the source.
The witness said after people became calm, various conspiracy theories started flying around.
“People were speculating that someone could have been murdered and his body chopped and thrown into the silo where the maize was being kept. Some suspected that their colleagues could be using juju to rise to top positions,” said the source.
The suspicions were put to rest after investigations pointed to the source of the finger being a worker who lost four fingers while loading maize on a conveyor belt three months ago.
It is reported that after the incident, the company officials ordered that all the maize in the silo should not be used. However, only three fingers were discovered and consequently the silo was put under lock and key.
