The Ekiti State government has issued a warning to herders operating in the state not to mess up the government’s huge investment in agriculture by allowing their cattle to invade and destroy farms.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Brigadier General Ebenezer Ogundana (retd), gave the warning in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday during a stakeholders’ meeting of the Ekiti State Farmers’/Herders’ peace committee at Jibowu Hall, Government House.
He said the government will henceforth invoke the full weight of the law on any underage found herding or anyone herding at night.
Ogundana, who is also the chairman of the committee, disclosed that Governor Oyebanji inaugurated the committee in 2023 in his effort to bring a permanent end to farmers/herder clashes in the state.
