Ondo State Commissioner for Environment Sola Ebiseni made the disclosure in Akure at a stakeholder meeting to deliberate on the constant clashes between farmers and the Fulani herdsmen in Ondo State.

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.”

A SaharaReporters correspondent reported that a monitoring task force team from the Ministry of Environment in the State has been mandated to ensure strict compliance of the order.

"The team is also saddled with the responsibility of dealing decisively with any erring cattle rearers that would flout such order from the State government,” our correspondent reported.

Additionally, the State government resolved that cattle dealers and marketers should register as an association or body with proof of identification. The government claimed that this would help identify cattle rearers who incite trouble and violence.

Among the other major areas forbidden for Fulani herdsmen to graze their cattle in the State included: Oba ile Road, Ode-ilekun Road, Barracks/Ondo Road, Airport/Owo Road, Adofure/Idanre Road, including all permanent residential estates.

During the meeting, Akin Olotu, an environmental activist and chairman of the Agricultural Commodities Association in Ondo State, called for a proper synergy between the States in the federation and the federal government in establishing cattle ranches for the benefit of Fulani nomadic herdsmen.

Ghen gben the north will now see the consequence of action down south

History tells us that Fulani establish Emirates by killing and conquering a people. The kingdom of Uthman Dan Fodio was established by blood and so they are blood thirsty forever.

.I have continue to wonder why state governors are expecting Buhari to secure their state for them.

Look at Agatu, Lagos, Nassarwa, ogun and other states that these vampires have killed, raped and robbed with reckless abandon.
One wonders what state governors are doing. They brandish themselves as chief security officers of the state yet can't secure a village.

If I am governor and as an outsider a chicken not even a human being dies. I won't negotiate with you. Your disappearance will be so silent that you will wake up to discover both you and your cow is in hell

How can you leave your desert infested land come to my green area to graze nd then turn arround to kill and maim my people. They never born you.

Again Buhari silence being the Life patron of Miyyetti Allah is worrisome. ..are they working for him?

Lalasticlala give me water...I dey vex abeg

This is a welcome development. All other states should follow suit.

Welcome Development. Let other states follow suit.

What is wrong with this hausa-fulani people . Is it because the president is from there region ?

Very good

I don't know when other Yoruba speaking States will start to get it right like the Ondo people..(thank God for my Ekiti indigenes too)... this is what Ogun, Kwara, Osun, Lagos, Oyo and other Southern States ought to have done many many years back but they keep crying to one mumu FG that careless...... Spread the operation stop Cattle grazing around the States. Kudos to Mimiko.

Cc: Lalasticlala over to you

nice one Mimiko,I hereby call on other southern Governors to follow suit and go ahead to empower the youths to enforce this directive

This is how we roll in Ondo. Say no to jihadist herdsmen

This just made my day. I think they should go one step further by banning them completely from SW region.

Even from day one
Ondo state no dey carry last

Interesting.
But will the herdsmen obey?

Now what will happen when they disobey and you arrest them and later release them, then they descend on your community and raze it to the ground wiping out both humans and animals in the middle of the night?

Yoruba love their lands alot invaders usually cause mayhem.
when u r too hospitable, u will surely reap d reward

Supported

Unfortunately most Yorubas brought this upon themselves when they made the grand patron of these herdsmen their President.

This to me is good news. Our failure to excersice the authority of the state is the reason the fulani criminals perceive Nigeria as a banana republic.

God bless Mimiko a PDP governor from South West. The zombie APC state got no ball to take such position Thats why thier slave-masters are currently annihilating and decimating their people in Lagos APC state.

Shame!

Other states will follow, Ekiti loading.........Ban them from PDP states, let them graze at Aso Rock.

Ok...this is long overdue.

[size=15pt]TOO MUCH MONEY, MA POCKET BE LOOKING LIKE NAIRA LAND[/size]

Ekimogun

Good move and any nomadic cattle rearer that proves stubborn should be dealt with as a criminal

A welcome development.

I just have one thing to say..BUHARI MUST HEAR THIS

Good Move from Ondo State, the Rest of Nigeria should follow suit

All other Southern states Governors should do the same. You can not expect FG to come and secure your land from mere herdsmen. Just give order and they are gone.

Nice one, dis guys have d devils heart

Right step

Way to go. Good move to curb the menace

Fulani herdsmen have been wrecking havoc before buhari became the president. Stop making it about him.
