The Cross River State Government has withdrawn the previously issued permit granted to the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association for the movement of cattle from Ebonyi State through Cross River to Cameroon.
The revocation was announced in a statement released on Sunday and signed by the Commissioner for Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries Development, Hon. Emmanuel Anom.
According to the commissioner, the cancellation nullifies the earlier approval issued to the association.
“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,” the statement read.
Anom also directed all security agencies to remain alert and ensure that no such movement takes place within the state.
“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,” he added.
