The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin
Obaseki, has frowned at Fulani herdsmen who disobeyed him and carried out open grazing in his state amid the ban.
Noting that the ban on open grazing is still active, Obaseki warned that herdsmen shouldn’t blame anyone for their fate if they are caught in Edo forests grazing.
He further said that anyone found wanting will be made to face the full wrath of the law,
The governor made this comment while addressing stakeholders during an interactive session on the Edo State Regional Development and Benin City Master Plan, held at Iguobazuwa, Ovia South-West Local Government Area of the state.
He submitted that the government was committed to the safety and security of residents and called for the collaboration and support of all stakeholders to ensure a peaceful, secure and prosperous Edo State. He said, “Any herdsman in our bush without permission is working against the law of our state, and anything that happens, they can t blame anyone. “Let us be sure that nobody gives that
person the permission to enter our forest and if permission will be granted, let us know the type of permission given to them to come into our bushes or forest to graze with their cattle
“Open grazing is banned in Edo State If they are in your forest, let us know where they are because we have police and vigilantes who will help us get them out through a number we will give you to call.”
Obaseki added, “Anybody that wants to do ranching business should contact you, the community people and you will decide on the land to use and method of feeding their cattle. They should do the business with you and not invade our forest indiscriminately as if there are no
owners. The forest and bushes belong
us
