The Cross River State Government has withdrawn a previously granted permit that allowed the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association to move cattle from Ebonyi State through Cross River to Cameroon.
The decision was announced in a statement issued on Sunday by the Commissioner for Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries Development, Hon. Emmanuel Anom.
According to the statement, the cancellation takes immediate effect and overrides the earlier approval.
“The Commissioner, on behalf of the Cross River State Government, hereby announces the cancellation of the movement permit earlier issued to the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders for the movement of their cattle from Ebonyi State, across Cross River State, to Cameroon.
“This cancellation supersedes the previously issued permit. All security agencies are hereby directed to be vigilant and prevent any such movement through Cross River State,” the statement read.
Security agencies have been directed to enforce the order strictly.
