Farmer/herder clashes: Lawmaker seeks implementation of extant laws on ranching
A member of House of Representatives, Nnamdi Ezechi, has advocated for strict implementation of extant laws prohibiting open grazing in the states.
Ezechi stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja while reacting to the recent killing of a member of a vigilance group in his constituency, Mr Ogonegbu Chukwunomnazu.
The lawmaker, representing Ndokwa East/Ndokwa West and Ukwuani in the lower legislative chamber, while condemning the killing, reiterated the imperatives of implementing extant laws on open grazing by states.
He urged the Inspector-General of Police to help fish out the killers of his constituent and bring them to justice.
“I call on the I-GP to rise up to the occasion by apprehending those behind the killing of the vigilante member.
“I also expect the police and other security agencies to help implement laws by various states, including Delta, that prohibit open grazing and provide for cattle ranching,” he said.
According to him, it is wrong for people to cause disadvantage to others with their own businesses.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lawmaker had earlier raised the matter through a motion of urgent national importance on the floor of the house.
NAN also reports that the Speaker, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, had also called on the inspector-general of police and other security agencies to swing into action on the matter.
