Following recent reports that an aide to governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state, Murtala Gwarmai has shared donkeys to some rural dwellers, a beneficiary says he demanded for it to assist his day to day activities and business that include moving sand and rocks from one point to the other.

Popularly called Mudi, the beneficiary complained that donkeys are very precious these days because they are facing extinction as a result of massive exportation to China.

“Donkeys used to be very cheap to own but nowadays they have become precious and expensive that ordinary people like us cannot be able to buy them.

“We are told that they are being exported to China where they eat them and also derive some medicinal chemicals from them.
