I support senator Jang on this. Cattle rearing is a normal agricultural activity why a bill on grazing reserve? Fisheries too needs a bill on ponds and waters for fishing reserve!

Plateau Grazing Reserve- Sen Jonah Jang talks down Gov Lalong
Former Governor of Plateau state Senator Jonah Jang yesterday berated Governor Simon Lalong for supporting the grazing reserve.

In a statement yesterday 12th June, 2016 Jang said,

"For the Federal Government which owns no cattle to connive with willing state governors to impose a grazing reserve policy on the hapless Plateau citizens who have suffered the brunt of rampaging herdsmen in the no distant past is not only an abuse of their rights but an assault on their already battered psyche.. Plateau people should rise up against any attempt to cede their land for grazing ".

Reacting swiftly, Governor Lalong said,

"This is an eloquent testimony of Jang's testimony of his "we" versus "them" classification of citizens. We will not compulsorily take any land from anyone. The issue of grazing reserves and ranches are options within the purview of the customary law owners and local councils to volunteer ".

An unconfirmed report places the number of those arrested as over a hundred (100)people.
MatthewteghaBlog correspondent speaking to an eye witness said; the police came with about four police vans for the first raid and later came back after an hour with same number of vans to pick more people, Among those carried were both men and women, with a woman who was said to just come out of her house to buy drugs for her baby that was also carried away. This raid by the police is said to be a reprisal on the residents around Angwan Rukuba as it will be recalled that there was a clash between the youths and police on Sunday 13th March in which a Police Station Was Completely Raised Down by Angry Youths In Jos(READ).
