Social media users have been thrown into a state of shock with news of a Nigerian man capturing a Blue Marlin Fish worth $2.6 million.

The capturing of the fish wasn’t the source of shock for many but rather what the man and his village folks decided to do with it.

They ate the fish which was captured in the Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State of Nigeria.

Africa Facts Zone, an up to date facts platform run by a Nigerian businessman, Isima Odeh shared a picture of the man with the Blue Marlin Fish surrounded by some villagers on Twitter.

They were certainly not aware of the worth of such a fish and as often done in many fishing communities in Africa, fish caught in the sea are used to prepare meals.
