A Makurdi High Court has issued an interim order restraining the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, from prohibiting or shutting down offices of the Benue State Livestock Guards in any part of the state.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Austine Ityonyiman, in his ruling on Thursday also restrained the Benue State Commissioner of Police, Okon Ene, from preventing officers of the Livestock Guards from carrying out their legitimate functions pending the determination of the motion on notice brought before the court.

According to the judge, the guards were implementing the state Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.

The Judge granted the motion brought by the Counsel to the Benue State Government, Mr Douglas Pepe, who prayed the Court to restrain the Nigerian Police whom he stated where acting outside the scope of their constitutional mandate.

Mr Pepe had argued that the Livestock Guards was a creation of the law and the body was carrying out its functions as stipulated by the legislation establishing it.

After listening to the argument of counsel to the Benue State Government, and carefully perusing through the affidavit in support of the motion, the Judge was convinced that there was a need to grant the application pending the determination of the motion on notice.

The Judge thereafter adjourned the case to November 23, 2018, for the hearing of the motion.

Reacting to the restraining order, the Benue State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Michael Gusa, said the Samuel Ortom administration is operating based on the rule of law, and due process.

He expressed surprise that the police whose duty is to help the government to enforce laws were seeking to proscribe a law legitimately enacted by a state.

Gusa reaffirmed the determination of the State Government not to be discouraged in pursuing what is in the interest of people of the State.

What?

Imagine,only in Nigeria do all this double standards happen
If Hisbbah(sharia police)were not proscribed,why then would you want to proscribe a unit set up by law of the land to protect and uphold their laws
This is really pathetic,it's as if the laws for the North is not suitable or applicable to other states in the country,and we call ourselves one nation.

Naija police una no go kill Nigeria
Country way value livestock pass it citizens.

Nigeria...

Hisbah... An Islamic police mafioso have been running in most northern states for donkey years yet in the same quasi federal system of this same stupid country with no hindrance to further uphold the supposed tenets of Islamic doctrines and executive injunctions for the betterment of their adherents,
Now in that same vegetable of a country, some people are being exterminated by foreign killers because of cows and the people of the state resolve to protect there lives nd properties with a state established legitimate outfit.. Not to even protect their lives alone but to bring back a secured environment for sanity to reign....
I continue to say Nigeria is a useless country from time immemorial...
How can you want to remove the very establishment guarding people's investment in there livelihood because of cows nd fulanimafia interests.....

So the IGP actually wanted to proscribe the Livestock Guards while leaving their tormentors - the marauding herdsmen.

smelly zoo

Benue self

Anything for the betterment of the people is what we clamor for

Livestock Guards, aka Legalized Criminals. More like state backed cattle rustlers.

The gaffes of this moribund APC administration are either being exposed or quashed by our courts.From the:
-Intraparty crisis spilling over into national governance,
-Oshiomole alleged corruption and the DSS grilling,
-Threat on DSP family and court quashing of the illegal property acquisition allegation.
-#3.5Million monthly feeding of El-Zazzaky by a corrupt government.
-And now Court Restrains IGP From Proscribing Benue Livestock Guards

very them go proscribe All man...
fvking IGP

States with law enforcement Marshals in the north who are harassing people with impunity, like Kaduna (Kato da Gora), Kano ( Hissbah), Zamfara etc. Why are other states exceptional when it comes to implementing such too?

I have said it time without number that Benue can only be free untill they dumped apc and since they dumped apc have we heard of any mass murder again since then? Hell No. Apc is cursed by almighty God. Look at fayemi of ekiti since he resumed power he has not started anything only to blame and blame 4 years will end and still blaming, apc is a curse to Nigeria.

Kudos to the court and to the Benue Goverment. Insha Allah you people will be totally free from apc demonic shackle but pls learned from.your mustake because apc is a mistake to Nigerians.

God bless benue people now I stand with you.

wow this is interesting

Buhari and his cohorts are criminal. IGP want to proscribe the livestock guard so that his fulani herdsmen will continue their wanton killing. Show me 1 fulani herdsmen arrested in benue state for killing and destruction of property. It's unfortunate Buhari value cow more than human
