Abia gives cash to support victims
Abia State Government has reportedly handed over cash to support traders of Omumauzor Cattle Market in Ukwa West Local Government.
Recall that the cattle dealers lost about eight members and an unconfirmed number of cows and other animals during the invasion of the market after they were relocated from the Waterside Cattle Market located in Aba North Local Government, on the Aba-Ikot Ekpene Expressway.
It was gathered that a delegation of Abia traditional rulers led by Abia revered monarch, Eze Kalu Ogbu, the Einachioken of Abiriba, went to Gombe State to assure the people of the safety of their loved ones in Abia State.
Another government source, who corroborated the account of his colleague, said the cow dealers had been relocated to the Uratta Market, on the Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway, with full security complement.
