The separatist group agitating for the breakaway of Nigeria’s southeastern region, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has imposed a ban on the consumption and rearing of cows in their region.
The group made the declaration in a statement signed by Mazi Chika, Head of Directorate of State, in Anambra on Saturday, adding that the ban would take effect in six months’ time.
“From that date, no more Fulani cows shall be allowed into Biafra land for any reason, not for burials, title taking, weddings, etc.,” the statement read.
However, Mr Chika stated that they would only be consuming cattle locally produced in “Biafraland.”
