Cattle Dealers Drag Abia to Court over Plan to Make Market Non-Residential

Cattle dealers at the Umuchieze Garki cattle market have dragged the Abia State government to court, claiming that they have a right  to reside inside the market, while the government forges ahead with its plan to remodel the market and make it non-residential.

The dealers insist on sustaining their culture of living inside the cattle market, but the Abia government has decided to end the practice, citing security reasons.
