Ram sellers in Kano livestock markets have expressed concern over low patronage in spite of high supply, with less than a week to Eid-el-Kabir.
Eid-el-Kabir, otherwise known as Eid-al-Adha, which originated from Prophet Ibrahim (Alaihis Salam), is a period when Muslims slaughter sacrificial animals.
The ritual is an act of worship performed by Muslim faithful on the 10th of Zul Hijjah, the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, by those not performing Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
It involves slaughtering a ram, the preferred choice, or a sheep, he-goat, goat, cow, or camel that is healthy, free from defects, and has reached the required age.
