During his final lucid moments Andrew Black looked up at his mother with violet eyes and begged her: “Find out who did this to me.” Three years earlier, Andrew was a ­promising radio and TV producer, but by the time he died in his mother’s arms he was bedbound, blind and unable to remember anything before his illness. Andrew would this week have celebrated his 30th birthday. Instead he was killed by vCJD – the human form of mad cow disease BSE – when he was just 24 years old.

Her findings exposing an apparent cover up are published this week in her book, Who Killed My Son?

The Minister of Education, Prof Ruqayyat Rufai, announced this in Abuja on Wednesday while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of the weekly FEC meeting.
