Southwest - Nigeria Stand Against Criminality And Open Grazing

 

The Aftermath of the fulani herdsmen rejection in the south-west part of Nigeria and counter back of the Federal Government including some fulani's leaders, has spurned an immediate meeting by the governors of the region with Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Ondo State. 

                                  

              The OYO State governor - Makinde, tweeted on the outcome of the meeting.

“Today, the South West governors held a security stakeholders’ meeting in Ondo State. The meeting was attended by our brother governors from Kebbi and Jigawa States; security chiefs, South West zone led by the AIG Zone 11 and leaders from the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria.

“Collectively, we resolved to ban open grazing in all parts of the South-West. In Oyo State, we already have a law against open grazing which will continue to be implemented by our security agencies.

“I restated that we will not permit criminality as a response to criminal actions. Instead we will continue to support our security agencies to do their duties. Also, we will work with our people to face our common enemies – the criminals; kidnappers, armed robbers and bandits.”
