Alhaji Ari Usman, a ram dealer, said that the market condition was not encouraging due to the low sales recorded in the last few days.

“We are not making good sales, as very few people are buying the animals at the market,” he said, adding that sales were low this year.

However, another trader, Baba Jibril, expressed the hope that the market condition would improve in the coming days.

Malam Buba Audu , a resident, described the drop in prices as a “welcome development”, noting that, the situation would enable most families to slaughter rams and celebrate the season in a happy mood.

NAN also reports that Kumsa market is one of the major animal trading centre in the state; where goats, cattle, sheep, camel and donkeys from Yobe and Niger Republic are transported to other parts of the country.
