Herdsmen Grazing Cattle at Aso Rock Presidential Villa

By


A video has shown herdsmen grazing their cattle around the Aso Rock presidential villa in Abuja. The video, exclusively obtained by PREMIUM TIMES Thursday, shows a column of cattle led along a road near the entrance to the vice president’s office, obstructing vehicular movements.

It was not clear how the animals and their herders accessed the restricted area of upmarket Asokoro district. A PREMIUM TIMES journalist who stopped by to get a better view of the animals, was compelled by security agents to delete suspicious pictures and videos from his phone.

Indiscriminate movement of cattle in Abuja and other major Nigerian cities has been a subject of concern amid rising cases of clashes between herdsmen and farmers.
