The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has banned transportation, rearing and consumption of cows in the whole of South-eastern states
This was contained in a statement by the IPOB Head of Directorate of State (DOS), Mr. Chika Edoziem, in Awka, Anambra State, on Saturday.
Mazi Edoziem, however, said the ban would take complete effect in six months time.
He said: “From that date, no more Fulani cows shall be allowed into Igboland for any reason, not for burials, title taking, weddings, etc.”
He added that only local breed would thenceforth “be consumed and used for all ceremonies in Igboland.”
