This ban also prohibits the transportation of livestock into Kaduna state from other states. Both bans take effect immediately, a statement by the state commissioner for internal security Samuel Aruwan, has said on Thursday.
He said the transportation of donkeys into the state is a criminal offence and anyone found engaging in this will be prosecuted accordingly.
Aruwan said the Kawo weekly market which usually holds every Tuesday in Kaduna North LGA has been suspended with immediate effect.
“The Government of Kaduna State wishes to highlight that the previous directives suspending weekly markets, and selling of petrol in jerrycans in Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Chikun, Igabi and Kajuru LGAs, as well as banning the felling of trees for timber, firewood and charcoal and other commercial purposes in Birnin Gwari, Kachia, Kajuru, Giwa, Chikun, Igabi and Kauru LGAs, are still in force,” the commissioner said.
