The Benue State Livestock Guards has impounded 105 cows and four sheep caught grazing openly near Akawe Torkula College of Advanced and Professional Studies, Makurdi.

Confirming the development, the commander of the Livestock Guards, Linus Zaki, disclosed that one herder, Kunje Saija, was also arrested in the course of the operation.

He explained that in accordance with the Benue State Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law, the impounded cows will be quarantined for seven days.

He added that the animals would be auctioned, if the owners fail to pay the fines stipulated by the law.

He cautioned herdsmen against the consequences of flouting the law, stressing the need for ranching of all forms of livestock in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Samuel Ortom, the state’s governor, recently restated the commitment of the government to fully implement the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.

The governor had also emphasised that anyone who violated the law would be prosecuted.

No person is above the law, but why should the Fulani terrorists live above the law in Nigeria?

Good news.

Ortom been very aware that vegetable sensing danger would not come for the project commissioning decides to lure him with this


Now watch how the cow peadophile would take the bait and run down to Benue to free his cousins


Too much sense from ortom

Good one,but they should prepare themselves,those demons will come back to attack.

Good, the law of the land most be obey.

You cannot be forming you are above the law in another person state. Good way to start.

If you want to do cattle business, buy land and be doing your business and pay your tax

Some Fulani miscreants will soon come here to shed tears. Ortom has big balls sha. Serving bubu and his kinsmen hot dishes of violence daily.

Miyetti Allah will soon cry and issue their normal threat over this.

Presidency too won't retard in condemning the Benue state govt.

A welcome development from Benue state. All southern governors must summon the political will and emulate Ortom and start arresting cows grazing in the open thus, Treating the Fulanis and their cows in the language they understand.

Innocent cows, useless owners.

Good move

You might want to have a re think on that o

Many Cows carry sperm of abokis now so they are condenmed

catch owners not the cows

Make plenty Suya.

Look at the pic up there, see how cattle business clean and orderly but no fulani said they forbid this kind arrangement

I think the Ogun State law that includes prison time is more better
