Tuesday plenary said the bill would now reduce the incessant
clashes between farmers and herdsmen in the state.

it will now become crime for any cattle, sheep and goat to graze on
undesignated land for ranches in Ekiti.

According to the new bill tagged," Prohibition of Cattle and Other
Ruminants Grazing in Ekiti, 2016", anyone found violating the bill
upon conviction shall be sentenced to six months in prison without
option of fine.

Others included, "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.

The rest are," 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".

If many other southern states follow suit, a message will be sent and the FG "might" now consider securing lives and property from the rampaging Herdsmen, sensitise and disarm them.
