The Katsina Emirate Council has written the Katsina State Government on its resolution to cancel all celebration during this year’s Eid El Kabir, citing COVID-19 and insecurity in the state as reasons
for doing so.
Meanwhile, many residents have been storming big markets and shops in the state to purchase clothes, jewellery and food items for the festival. Many of the traders, who came to the market from various places, including Lagos, Abuja and Kaduna, hoping to get rams at cheaper prices were disappointed as an average ram went for no less than N50,000, while some bigger ones sold for N250,000 each.
Some of the traders attributed the high prices to the low value of the naira and insecurity in Katsina State.
