The Northern Community in Umuchieze Cattle Market in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State has appealed to Governor Alex Otti to allow them to reside inside the market.
The traders, who are predominantly dealers in cattle, made the appeal at a news briefing in the market on Wednesday.
They also reacted to the government’s claim that it discovered a large number of decomposed and headless bodies as well as “countless skeletons” in the market located at Lokpanta in Umuchieze.
