Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Asociation of Nigeria, on Tuesday, said its members across the country have lost over N5billion to the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently ravaging the world.
One of the leaders of the association, Alhaji Yakubu Bello, made the disclosure while reacting to the allegation that the Fulani community in Oyo State was shielding their kinsmen who sneaked into the state from the North against the inter-state border restriction made by the Federal Government.
He stated that although the current realities were challenging as Miyetti Allah had not had it so bad in the past, efforts were made to ensure that the restriction orders were adhered to.He said Fulani cow traders and herdsmen across the country had been warned to stay off Oyo State until the restriction order on inter-state movement was vacated.
He said, “We have heard of cases of people that were arrested for defying inter-state lockdown order, whether they were coming from the North or anywhere from Nigeria, but I can tell you that nothing of such has happened from here.
