Social commentator, Jaafar Jaafar, witnessed the arrest of the cows and shared photos online..

He wrote;

“I took the first two pictures of Abuja environment protection agency officials “handcuffing” an “arrested” cow along Olusegun Obasanjo Way, Abuja today. Social media outrage over photos of cows roaming around the Central Area of Nigeria’s capital, Abuja recently may have prompted the clampdown. I hope this “Magen Lami” of an FCT minister will wake up to “her” responsibility”.
