Muslims planning to buy rams for the forthcoming El-el-Kabir have decried the soaring prices of the livestock in major markets across Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
Visits to ram markets in Oja Tuntun/Kuntun, Agbooba, Asa Dam, Irewolede and Mandate areas of the state showed that small, medium-sized and big rams sold for N55,000 to N400,000 and above.
Daily Trust reports that there were rams of N60,000, N80,000, N100,000, N150,000, N170,000, N200,000 and N300,000.
Some buyers expressed dissatisfaction over the high cost of the ram while hoping for reduction in price before the celebration.
