By Arogbonlo IsraelThe Onion Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria (OPMAN) has given reason for suspending its supply to the Southeast.
The association through its National President, Aliyu Isah, made the announcement on Wednesday.
According to him, the association’s decision was based on the recent hijack of two of their members’ trucks by gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Imo state.
The gunmen were said to have hijacked the trucks and distributed their contents to the public.
In another development, Isah said farmers and marketers lost 200,000 bags of onions worth N2 billion to fire in Sokoto state.
