The leadership of Cattle and Foodstuff dealers under the aegis of Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN) are currently with officials of Department of State Service. (DSS).

General Secretary of the AUFCDN, Ahmed Alaramma, who disclosed this at a press briefing at Labour House, Abuja, on Monday, said the President of the Association, Mohammed Tahir, is with the DSS.

• Blockade: Beef scarcity, rising cost of food items hit southern states
• Kagara abduction: Four bandits swapped with freed victims

Alaramma also alleged that the military personnel were intimidating members and task force of the union, advising the government to avert looming chaos by stopping the intimidation of their members.

The union had earlier vowed to continue its nationwide strike and sustain the enforcement on the blockade of foodstuff and cattle from entering the douthern part of the country.

This, according to them, would be sustained till federal government attend to their demands, which border on payment of N475 billion compensation for lives of members and property lost during the #EndSARS protest and Shasa market crisis.
