Monguno said that “the big heart exhibited by the fish seller and the capacity he exhibited of tolerating the sheep’s endless raids for five years was impressive and highly magnanimous and thus deserving of his reward.”
He remarked that his intention was to help Yusuf Ibrahim to recover from his loses and recapitalize. He noted that small businesses such as Yusuf’s have the tendency to fall under the weight of being eaten up intermittently and can easily go under.
He called on animal owners to take care of their domestic animals by feeding them and disallowing them to roam the neighborhood to cause havoc to small business owners.
