A video showing a young boy allegedly uprooting cassava from a farm to feed cattle has sparked reactions on social media.
In the footage circulating online, the boy is seen inside what appears to be a cassava farm, removing the tubers from the ground before handing them to nearby cattle.
He continues the act as the person behind the camera speaks to him and appears to encourage him.
The video has generated concern among social media users, particularly over the alleged destruction of crops belonging to farmers.
Some commenters condemned the incident, expressing concerns about the effect of crop destruction on farmers’ livelihoods and food production.
Others used the footage to draw attention to the long-standing tensions between farmers and cattle herders in different parts of Nigeria.
The circumstances surrounding the video, including the location and identity of those involved, could not be independently verified from the footage.
