Ekiti state Assembly propose 6 months jail term for herdsmen who graze their cattle on undesignated area

Fulani herdsmen who graze their cattle in areas that are not designated for grazing will soon be sent to jail for six months without an option of fine. This is according to a new bill titled 'Prohibition of Cattle and Other Ruminants Grazing in Ekiti, 2016' that was passed by the Ekiti state House of Assembly on Tuesday. The legislatures at their plenary unanimously passed the law.

The bill presently awaits the accent of the state governor, Ayo Fayose. Speaker of the House, Kola Oluwawole, while speaking on the proposed law said;
“If the bill is eventually accented to by the governor, it will now become crime for any cattle, sheep and goat to graze on undesignated land for ranches in Ekiti". Part of the new bill reads ″Anyone found violating the bill upon conviction shall be sentenced to six months in prison without option of fine. The Governor shall by an order designates land in each of 16 Local Government Areas in the state in respect of which Cattle or Ruminants may be permitted to graze. No person shall cause or permit any cow, oxen, sheep as well as goat under his or her control to graze on any land in which the Governor has not designated as ranches” among others. The bill forbids movement of cattle by herdsmen and owners of goat in the Ekiti after 6 p.m. No cattle or other ruminants shall by any means move in the night, movement shall be between 7 a.m and 6p.m”

  24. Let other governors learn from fayose,i understand the six years jail term.Non of them will live to spend six month b4 eating poison and die.Animalistic people called fulani herdsmen

  25. ...and this is what they are killing for. he should not even think of giving them land in all the local government. Give them a land in one local government only else the whole state will wake up one day and find themselves to sorrows. This is when they will start yearning for their own local government and declare sharia in there. Fayose be wise don't sell the west.

  32. So there are areas in the state designated for grazing? Isn't that the same thing as the grazing reserve? This is not good - once those leeches enter there's no getting them (and their religion), out again.

  33. Good work rugged governor..I believe you baba

  34. Don't give them any settling opportunity in any state. They will simply install a king populate and take over your land in a few years. That is their strategy. Southerners be wise. It happened in kwara

  35. Enugu state governor should resign, he is watching his own people die in the hands of these blood suckers SHAME!!! Ride on Fayose, able governor, they can't stop you. For people saying 'Igbo' not all Igbos oo, when they tried it in Akokwa in Imo state, they were massacred. And they can't try it in Abia. Enugu people are confirmed cowards with their confused governor.
