The Nigeria Police Force has stated it will not actively control the presence of roaming cattle within the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. According to the police, their involvement will be limited to situations where the animals are connected to criminal activity or offenses. This announcement clarifies the boundaries of police responsibility regarding livestock management in the region. The policy suggests a lack of proactive measures to address potential disruptions or concerns caused by free-ranging cattle. This stance raises questions about which authority *is* responsible for managing livestock in the FCT. The police statement appeared on Vanguard News, prompting discussion about urban livestock control in Nigeria’s capital. Currently, intervention is only expected when a crime is committed involving the animals.
