Bandits: Katsina residents can sell, buy goats, sheep, say police
The Katsina government has directed that goats and sheep should not be affected by the recent security containment order in the state.
The police spokesman in Katsina, Gambo Isah, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
“His Excellency has directed that small animals such as goats and sheep should not be affected by the containment order as earlier envisaged,” said the statement. “Therefore, the chairman of the committee, Commissioner of Police, Katsina state command, Sanusi Buba, has also directed all DPOs (Divisional Police Officers) to allow the sale of that category of animals in markets all over the state.”
It added that “this is for the information and guidance of the enforcement committee and all stakeholders.”
Governor Aminu Masari recently signed a security containment order that banned the sale of cattle in Katsina markets.
