prohibition of sale or display of rams on highways in the
state was still in force.
The government, therefore, restated its zero tolerance for
the sale of livestock on highways.
A statement by the State Ministry of the Environment in
Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, said the warning became necessary
following the setting up of illegal ram markets in some parts
of the metropolis.
The statement, signed by Mr Fola Adeyemi, the ministry's
spokesman, listed areas where such illegal markets had
sprung up as Otedola Housing Estate, Agege Motor Road,
Ilupeju junction and the rail lines.
Others are Ijora, Surulere, Abeokuta Motor Road, Costain,
Egbeda, Alaba, Okokomaiko and Olumegbon.
"While government appreciates the importance of rams to
the celebration of Eid El Kabir, it is not a licence for people
to contravene environmental laws.
