In Lagos, residents were seen buying beef, while sellers said there was nothing like boycott.
At most of the markets visited by our correspondents, people went about their normal businesses without any boycott of beef.
The chairman, United Butchers of Lagos, Lagos State Abattoir Complex, Oko-Oba, Agege, Abdullahi Ahmed, said the number of people patronising the abattoir increased yesterday, stressing that more people were still being expected.
He disclosed that 500 cows were slaughtered at the abattoir on Friday as against the 200 that were slaughtered days ago, owing to the strike called by the AUFCDN. An average of 1,000 cows were slaughtered daily at the market before the food blockade.
