These cows were impounded grazing in the precincts of Gabiro military barracks on 10th March 2023.

Consultations from three districts in the neighborhood of the barracks including Nyagatare, Gatsibo, and Kayonza came up with the decision of impounding cattle grazing in the precincts of Gabiro military barracks and resolved on charging a fine worth Rwf200, 000 per cow to prevent the spread of Rift Valley Fever disease.

A statement released by Nyagatare District reads that the owner should rush to pay the fines before taking them to an abattoir.

It further indicates that the district will auction these cows if the owner fails to process the payments within three days.

Over 100 cows impounded grazing in Gabiro military barracks may be auctioned.
