Benue Court Jails Three Herdsmen by Reportmusic(f): 5:34pm On Feb 23, 2018 |
A magistrates’ court in Makurdi, Benue state, on Friday handed a one-year jail sentence to three herders – Iliya Garba, Hassan Abdullahi, and Lanshak Lonfalk – for violating the law enacted in 2017. The convicts were charged with criminal conspiracy and open nomadic livestock rearing and grazing. The offences are punishable under sections 97 of the penal code and 19 (2) of the Open Grazing Prohibition Ranches Establishment Law of Benue, 2017. Michael Iorundu, the prosecutor, told the court that the joint patrol team of “Operation Zenda”, led by Edward Shinyi, arrested the herders on February 18. He said they were brought to the state criminal and investigation department, Makurdi. “The team reported that the three herders, and others now at large, were openly grazing their cattle along Yeluwata Road in Guma local government area of Benue,” he said. “When the case came up for mention, the herders pleaded guilty to the charge against them, saying that they were not aware that open grazing had been prohibited in Benue.” Lillian Tsumba, the magistrate, said the herders were first offenders who were also illiterates and not even aware that open grazing has been prohibited in Benue. Tsumba said a law such as open grazing prohibition required massive exposure and education of persons at the grassroots. She, however, said “the law is law” and must be obeyed in spite ignorance. The magistrate sentenced the herders to a year imprison each, with N500,000 option of fine each. source https://www.reportnaija.ng/2018/02/23/benue-court-jails-three-herdsmen/ cc lalasticlala 19 Likes |

They'll certainly bail them. It's a good step by Benue state though. I just hope their senior kinsmen won't order their comrades to resume the attacks on innocent and helpless Benue people. 3 Likes |

Good day my fellow Nairalander's First of all I will like to apologize for disturbing you with my problem, Like the saying goes, a problem shared is half solved! I'm going through a very tough time for sometimes now, things are very hard for me to the extent that it is my wife that is taking the responsibilities of the house. I'm ashamed of myself but nothing I can do. I'm not a lazy man, I have my handi-work (Printing Works) which I do to earn a living. But suddenly things change, after a while, that was around late last year, I borrowed money (#11,500+interest) from Paylater to clear some debts, but unfortunately for me am unable to refund the money back since then. Recently I got a message from paylater that the loan I took was severely past due, that I should make a payment today to regularize it or I will be referred to their legal team for further action. and I know that this will be so embarassing. That's why I come on nairaland to seek for assistance Recently I posted on a thread here "https://www.nairaland.com/4338339/labour-presents-new-minimum-wage/1" that i need a menial job, but unfortunately i couldn't get any. Nairalander's please help me I beg you! Bank Union Bank of Nigeria Acct No 0 0 0 6 5 7 1 5 7 0 olufunmisegz@gmail.com Thanks in anticipation! |
