herdsmen in the state capital, Akure, following their recent
clashes with farmers in the area.
Ondo State Commissioner for Environment Sola Ebiseni said
the State government had already given the Fulani herdsmen
a one week ultimatum to evacuate their cattle from the main
town of Akure.
He declared that any Fulani nomadic herdsman grazing
cattle at night would also be considered thieves and handed
over to the law enforcement agencies.
"We don't want to see the Fulani herdsmen grazing cattle
within the streets of Akure, the State capital," Mr. Ebiseni
said. "Animals are not reared on the road in our own towns.
They are allowed in the outskirts of the town.
Furthermore, a monitoring task force team from the Ministry
of Environment in the State has been mandated to ensure
strict compliance of the order.
