Edo Bans Night-grazing, Carrying Of Arm By Herders by Blue3k2: 7:19pm On Feb 08, 2018
The Edo State Government has banned night grazing and the carrying of guns by herders in the state. It has also set up a seven-member committee in each of the local government areas in the state to check clashes between herders and farmers.

According to a statement on Thursday by the spokesperson to the governor, Crusoe Osagie, the committees will include the chairpersons or heads of the LGAs, the Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), representatives of State Security Service and four representatives of communities.

These decisions were announced after a meeting of Governor Godwin Obaseki with heads of Hausa/Fulani communities from the 18 LGAs in the state.

Mr. Obasaki said the state government would release the report of clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the state to the committees for review.

“The committees will ensure the registration of all the Seriki Fulani in every community across all the local government areas and the Seriki Fulani will liaise with everyone rearing cattle in the area.”

According to the governor, another committee to be headed by him will include the State Commissioner of Police, the Director of the State Security Service in the state, the Commander of 4 Brigade of the Nigerian Army and other members drawn from communities across the three senatorial districts of the state.

“Every three months, we will meet with representatives of the local government committees to review and examine the progress being made in resolving the herdsmen/farmers’ clashes in the state,” the governor said.

“A special team made up of the Police, Army, Civil Defence Corps and other security agencies in the state will carry out random patrols and search operations. Any herdsman found possessing firearms will be arrested and charged with illegal possession of firearms as a cattle rearer does not need an AK 47 to herd cattle.

“We will not accept anyone with firearms and anyone found with arms will face the law. We need information to succeed in this fight and information is vital to the police and other security agencies. We assure you of your safety.

“We have placed a ban on night herding; nobody should herd their cattle at night. We have also placed a ban on hunting activities by people from other states in the name of hunting,” Mr. Obaseki said.

The Chairman of the Hausa Community in the state, Badamasi Saleh, requested for protection of “sources of security information, as most members of the communities find it difficult to volunteer information to the security agencies as they fear that their identities would not be protected.”


Usman Abdullahi, representing the Hausa/Fulani community in Edo Central Senatorial District, pledged the cooperation of his people with the state security agencies “to fish out any member of their communities who engages in criminal activities.”



Abdulkareem Ibraheem, representing the Hausa/Fulani communities in Edo South, urged the state government to provide the necessary logistics that will aid the task of the monitoring committees in the various local government areas.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Johnson Kokumo, thanked members of the Hausa/Fulani community and assured that with their support, clashes between herdsmen and farmers would be checked in the state.

It's similar to the ban done in Ekiti. Ekiti limits time, place, and carrying arms. Only Benue and Taraba did a complete ban. Confused people on Nairaland seem to unaware of this fact. This is why they can praise Fayose but condemn Obaseki in same breath when they have same law.

The law 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 7am and 6pm”, a section of the bill reads.

Who has noticed that it will be easy for the North to rig 2019 elections in favor of Buhari or his 'Protege'?

The Security Chiefs are MOSTLY Northerners, hence with the influence, they can win again!

Something SHOULD URGENTLY be done to correct the Federal Character Principle in Public Office Appointment (especially Security Chiefs) or else... (Remember Benue!)

Kindly reshare TILL it is fixed

I know you will show cowardice. You are here running your mouth and insulting a governor who has done something to protect his people.

We all know that none of your governors have the balls to make this kind of decision

Similar to but falls short of what they practice in some regions in Ghana, where each herdsman is registered with an identity number.The identity number is then stamped on all the cows in the herdsman stead. So you can't leave your cattle to graze during forbidden hours or in forbidden places hoping to escape detection. Once a cow is caught, the owner can easily be traced.

Well, let me believe that you aren't Nigerian.

One thing you should know is that most of these politicians are doing this to safe face and cover up for their ineptitude.

I don't blame them though because if they ban grazing totally without a formidable backing by the police, then they will be targeted by the terrorist herdsmen who have backing by the president.

At the end the innocent people will suffer . That's what is happening now in benue state

Only time would tell if Obaseki is right.
