Desirous to curtail worrisome
activities of herdsmen across the state, the Ondo State government has said that
an anti-grazing law is in the works.
The State government yesterday
expressed deep concern over the menace of the herdsmen and was determined to
halt it.
The Senior Special Assistant to Ondo
state governor on agriculture, Akin Olotu lamented the loss of innocent lives,
destruction of farmlands, rape of women and young girls
Olotu said four persons were killed
across the state within the last three weeks by the herdsmen.
He however said the state government
is proposing anti grazing bill to stem the menace of the herdsmen while all
herdsmen operating in the state and their cows would be registered with codes
for identification.
Olotu, who advocated for the modern
method of rearing cattle in the country called on security agencies and
stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the frequent clashes between the
herdsmen and farmers in the state.
