Gov Fayose
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
Monday afternoon signed the Ekiti State Open Grazing Prohibition Bill into law.
Daily post reports that Gov Fayose appended his signature
in the presence of over 3,000 Traditional Chiefs in Ekiti State.
Under the law, herdsmen are
forbidden from carrying arms and movement of cows and other animals from one
location to another.
The law prescribes six
months imprisonment without option of fine for any herdsman who violates the
grazing prohibition, while any herdsman found with arms will be charged with
terrorism.
Decisiveness !
