If it were some people's governor, na like this him go dey cry, yet they tag us cowards.


So the same Fayose you all Buhari Zombs maligned, calling him several unprintable names, for criticizing Chinakwe's dog has all of a sudden become a hero? Thought you guys all called him a bastard Yoruba son whose mother must have slept with an Igbo man. Gush!!!

Some people in this country are just so disgusting, I swear!!!

very good move, I am surprise to still see someone in this forum supporting them. may be because you stay in the city and u will not be able to feel the pain wey this old women wey get the farm dey feel to see their main source of food been destroyed by this herdsmen and their cow on the name of grazing.

Shut your trap there!!! Seems you didn't see a news about Ekiti State topping all other states in NECO. When you're blinded by hate, same Fayose who refused to follow the blind zombies to support the useless Buhari, now you people from the West must acknowledge his good works whether you like it or not.

Ignorance of D law is no excuse. Hweva d penalty seems very severe. As 4 d cattle 's fate, dey shld try contacting d owner 2 come & collect his property. If he refuses afta a period of abt 6 months—1 yr, dey shld disposed of any way d govt cs fit.

No, to the contrary, igbos are.

Hated by the SW, SS, NORTH and Fulanis.

There is an interchange of love between the rest of the people.

A Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti has sentenced one Ali Haruna to two years imprisonment for taking his cows for grazing in a farmland and destroying crops.

The Magistrate, Idowu Ayenimo, in his judgement, said the accused was arraigned in his court on Jan 22, 2016 over a two-count charge of wilful and unlawful damage of farm crops at Ago Aduloju in Ado-Ekiti.

The 18-year-old Haruna was confirmed by the four prosecuting witnesses to have been caught in the midnight grazing his cow in the farm belonging to Abdulahi Yaho and Bello Mohammed.

The cash crops said to have destroyed by the cows in the farm included cassava, maize, okro and pepper, all valued at N3 million.



In his defence, the defendant had told the court that the owner of the cows lived in Ilorin, Kwara.

The magistrate said that the court did not believe Haruna’s defence as it was not credible.

He held that the police prosecutor, Mr Olasunkanmi Bankole, had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt.

He thereby convicted the defendant as charged without option of fine.

The magistrate ordered that sentence should run concurrently, explaining that the term was minimal because the offence was committed before the Grazing Law was promulgated in the state.

The defence counsel, Mr Chris Omokhafe, had prayed the court to be liberal in the dispensation of justice, saying that he was a first offender.

We need grazing law for the entire country. Herds men have being willfully destroying people's crops for as long as their history. If you question them, they answer you with arrow (those days) and bullets (nowadays) piercings all over your body. They need to be forcefully taught that just as the cattle is life to them, so are these crops to the farmers. Why destroy other people's livelihood to sustain yours? Kudos to Ekiti on this.

Good to see government start enforcing laws. The herders have no right to invade someone's property. They can't destroy property, they can't use land without permission from owners.

If every local and state government enforced laws there wouldn't be an issue to begin with. They cows will likely be auctioned off to highest bidder. I guess a rancher or slaughter house with take them.

The cattle should be sold and the proceeds given to the farmer. At least he should receive compensation for his damaged crops and livelihood. He should also receive compensation for emotional distress and bankruptcy caused due to the destruction of his farmland.
