Shagari Usman Yusuf, the Chairman of the Abuja cattle dealers in the Dei-Dei International Livestock Market in Abuja, has been arrested and detained by the Nigerian Army, his legal representatives have confirmed.
Yusuf reportedly revealed during an appearance on the “Brekete” radio programme that the military allegedly seized over N88 million in cash and 341 cows belonging to his business associates.
The circumstances surrounding his arrest remain unclear, but his lawyers expressed concern over the legality of the detention and called for a thorough investigation into the alleged actions of the military. The incident has drawn attention to the operations at the livestock market and the reported financial losses suffered by those involved in the business.
Calls for clarity and accountability are growing, with stakeholders urging the authorities to address the allegations and ensure that justice is served in line with the law.
