Fulani Herdsmen Turns $ 360M Abuja National Stadium To Grazing Field ( See Details)

In what could be described as the height of disregard for the country, and epic failure of the management of the Abuja National Stadium, Fulani herdsmen have turned the B section of the $360m stadium into grazing pasture for their cattle.

Punch correspondent, who visited the stadium
yesterday saw tall grasses in almost every
part of the complex.

Cow dung, both fresh and dried could be seen
on the asphalt within the complex showing that the expensive edifice has been turned into a regular grazing field.

Security officials at stadium who blamed the
sports ministry for the deteriorating state of
the stadium said, "The herdsmen come into
the stadium with their cattle almost every day. They come through the collapsed portion of the fence and we can't stop them because we are not armed."

"The management are aware of the situation,
but they have refused to do anything about it,
meaning they are comfortable with it."

Another guard said, "We can't stop them because we are not armed, and they (sports ministry) have refused to engage policemen to beef up the security around the stadium."

"Look at weeds everywhere on the premises
and they have refused to engage someone to
clear the weeds. Maybe the government is
trying to save money by allowing the animals
to graze on weeds."
