Fulani Herdsmen Banned From Ondo State
The Ondo state government has banned activities of Fulani herdsmen in
the state capital, Akure, following their recent clashes with farmers
in the area.
Ondo State Commissioner for Environment Sola Ebiseni said the State
government had already given the Fulani herdsmen a one week ultimatum
to evacuate their cattle from the main town of Akure.
He declared that any Fulani nomadic herdsman grazing cattle at night
would also be considered thieves and handed over to the law
enforcement agencies.
"We don't want to see the Fulani herdsmen grazing cattle within the
streets of Akure, the State capital,
" Mr. Ebiseni said. "Animals are not reared on the road in our own
towns. They are allowed in the outskirts of the town."
Furthermore, a monitoring task force team from the Ministry of
Environment in the State has been mandated to ensure strict compliance
of the order.
