After residents in Abuja  held a protest that  animals
constitute nuisance and possess threat to their healthy living,
prompting the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello to hold a meeting with the Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria in
Abuja, where he
ordered the herdsmen to move their cattle out of the
city for the safety of the residents. Recently we gathered that Cattle have been chased away and the FCT administration have been wiping away animals in the city.

“You have to understand that when Abuja Environment Protection Board
says cattle should not roam the city, it is not because they want to
prevent cattle breeders from raring cattle in the FCT. Basically, it is
just for safety, it’s for the safety of your cattle and above all,
safety of the citizens.’

Meanwhile, according to the reports culled from News Agency of Nigeria,
the Ministerial Task Team on environment under the Chairmanship of
Squadron leader, Abdullahi Monjel will take up the responsibility to
combat movement of cows from the street.”
