A bill to create a national database for livestock in Nigeria has passed second reading in the Nigerian Senate.
The bill for an establishment Act of a National Livestock Bureau was passed during plenary on Tuesday, April 20, 2021.

The sponsor of the bill, Senator Muhammad Bima Enagi (Niger South - APC), said the bureau would be created for the purpose of livestock identification, traceability, registration, cattle rustling control, disease control, and other related matters.

The senator noted that agriculture is a mainstay of the Nigerian economy with the livestock sub-sector vital to the nation's socio-economic development, despite current low productivity.

"Livestock identification refers to keeping records of individual farm animals or groups of farm animals so that they can be more easily tracked from their birth, through the marketing chain, to the table," he said.

The lawmaker said the bill intends to indicate ownership and prevent rustling, as well as collate genetic information on animals, and improve the ability to trace animals.

He noted that despite having about 40% of cattle population in West Africa, Nigeria has been unable to participate in the export of meat and other dietary product due to the absence of a management system.

He said the system would deter animal theft, and aid security agencies to mitigate the incessant conflicts between herders and farmers.

Decades-long conflict over access and control of land between the nomadic cattle herders and local farming communities has led to thousands of lives lost, and millions worth of property damage.

Senator Sabi Abdullahi (Niger North - APC), said passing the bill into law is key to implementing the economic diversification goals of the current government, and solving the herders-farmers crisis.

Senator Kabir Abdullahi Barkiya (Katsina Central - APC) said being able to track livestock would significantly reduce cattle rustling, a trend he said is worsening banditry in the northern region.

Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah (Kebbi South - APC) described the bill as 'one of the best legislation' introduced in the chamber, especially in view of the lingering insecurity crisis.

"Extraordinary situations require extraordinary actions. If the content of this bill is implemented, it means movement of cattle would be strictly monitored and almost impossible for anybody to have access to illegal livestock and sell them elsewhere," he said.

Senator Bashir Ajibola (Osun Central - APC) raised a constitutional point of order as to whether the National Assembly has the power to legislate on the subject matter, but was overruled by Senator Na'Allah and Senate President Ahmad Lawan (Yobe North - APC).

The bill was passed for a second reading and referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development to report back within four weeks.

A similar bill was previously passed for a third reading by the Eighth Senate, but was never signed into law.

THE National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has arrested Adama Uomar Issa, identified as a Chadian, for allegedly trafficking in illicit drugs.

The 35-year-old was intercepted with assorted drugs in Jalingo, Taraba State.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a statement, yesterday, said investigations showed that Issa allegedly supplied drugs to Boko Haram insurgents, adding that Issa allegedly bought the drugs in Onitsha, Anambra State, concealed them in ladies’ bags and was on his way to deliver them when the NDLEA arrested him.

Babafemi said: “The suspect, Adama Uomar Issa, was arrested on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 in Jalingo, Taraba State, with 21.70kg of Tramadol 225mg and 250mg. Also seized from him were 15.7kg of Exol.5; 100,050 France CAF and N61,000.

According to the commander, Taraba State Command of the NDLEA, Suleiman Jadi, the suspect speaks only French and Arabic and claims he was taking the illicit substances to Chad Republic before he was intercepted in Jalingo.

“Investigations have, however, shown that he is a major supplier of illicit drugs to Boko Haram insurgents. At the point of interdiction, the drugs, which he bought from Onitsha in Anambra State, were concealed inside new ladies’ handbags and shoes.”

The arrest comes days after the NDLEA nabbed a 70-year-old Nigerien who allegedly supplies illicit drugs to Boko Haram insurgents and bandits.
In a related development, Babafemi said operatives of the agency raided drug joints in Warri Street, Kaduna, where 29.5 grammes of cocaine and heroin were recovered, along with 456 grammes of rohypnol tablets. He said Suleiman Yusuf and Abubakar Abdullahi, two alleged peddlers, were arrested during the sting operation.

The spokesman also disclosed that 181kg of cannabis sativa was seized in Gaidam, Yobe State, while a suspect was arrested. Apeh Reuben, the NDLEA commander in Yobe, was quoted as saying the consignment was transported from Lagos to Yobe, and was being moved to Niger Republic when it was intercepted at the border post in Gaidam.

“While commending the Taraba, Kaduna and Yobe states commands for their vigilance and resilience in the ongoing offensive action against illicit drugs and traffickers, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the NDLEA, Brig. General Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd), charged the officers and men involved in the operations and across other commands not to relax until the last drug cartel is dismantled in the country,” Babafemi added.

By AbdulGafar Alabelewe, Kaduna
The Fulani community in Kaduna State under the auspices of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has claimed that they lost seven kinsmen as well as 850 cattle in five days of a communal clash last month in Zangon-Kataf council area of the state.

They made the claim in Kaduna on Thursday while addressing a press conference at the NUJ Secretariat, saying that the killings came after several peace efforts by concerned stakeholders of Fulani, Hausa and Atyap groups in Kataf chiefdom and environs.
MACBAN’s Director of Media and Publicity, Ibrahim Bayero said, “There were several attacks on Fulani people and their livestock in Zangon-Kataf LGA’s and surrounding Local Governments in recent weeks.The association, therefore, views the renewed violence on its members as provocative, mindless, deliberate and criminal acts capable of endangering more chaos to the entire Southern Kaduna.
“We commiserate with the families of the deceased and those who lost valuable wealth during the violence.

“The government should pay adequate compensation for the lives of our members who were killed during the attacks as well as for their wealth that was heartlessly destroyed,” MACBAN demanded.
