From Gwange area of Maiduguri, he came to Abuja in search of greener pastures as an estate agent, but ended up a trader of wildlife. He opened up to Weekly Trust about the ups and downs of his sometimes-wild business.
Abubakar Dogo’s real intention was to come to Abuja as a seasonal gatecrasher on estate business or anything profitable. Little did he know he was going to delve into the kind of business that involves wild animals. He soon learnt that the dealing in wildlife is the signature of affluence among those who can afford it.
“We get supplied from either Cameroon or Niger Republic,” he revealed. “It is very risky running such a trade in francophone countries because it has been outlawed. But we smile when we cross the border into Nigeria where the trade is not banned.”
