Such goat new-borns, he told Abuja Metro during a visit on Christmas Eve, in the market were mostly born while their mothers were being transported to the market, or after been brought there.

他在聖誕節前夕訪問阿布賈地鐵時告訴阿布賈地鐵，這些新生山羊大多是在其母親被運往市場時或被帶到市場後出生的。

That circumstance would not spare their mothers from being sold out or slaughtered by their owners, Rabiu added.

拉比烏透露，他用這些牛奶餵養這些嬰兒是為了挽救他們的生命。 「每隻小山羊每天會消耗大約一公升牛奶，我有責任照顧我照顧的小山羊大約兩個月，屆時它們將斷奶，並讓它們自己進食，」他說。
