private cattle ranch and that a bill to make<br \/>\nmovement of cattle from one location to another criminal in the State<br \/>\nwill soon be sent to the State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Fayose, who made this known when he visited Oke-Ako in Ikole<br \/>\nlocal government area of the State that was invaded last Friday by<br \/>\nFulani herdsmen that killed two residents of the town and injured<br \/>\nothers, warned that government will henceforth confiscate any cattle<br \/>\nseen anywhere in the State apart from ranch created for them by their<br \/>\nowners.<\/p>\n<p>He described the Fulani herdsmen that attacked Oke-Ako and other<br \/>\ncommunities in the country as \u201cagents of the devil that must be fished<br \/>\nout and punished accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor said; \u201cWe will not leave our lands for Fulani herdsmen<br \/>\nand in a system where the leadership of the country looks the other<br \/>\nway while our people are being killed, we will have no option than to<br \/>\ndefend ourselves by whatever means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said; \u201cI have come here to commiserate with the people of Oke-Ako<br \/>\nover the murder of two of our people by these evil Fulani herdsmen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also here to assure that this will be the last time your<br \/>\ncommunity will be invaded by Fulani herdsmen under whatever guise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have directed that cattle rearing and grazing should stop in Ekiti<br \/>\nState and those interested in cattle farming should henceforth do so<br \/>\nin their own cattle ranch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo more movement of cattle from one location to another in the State<br \/>\nand any cattle seen anywhere in Ekiti State apart from the ranch<br \/>\ncreated for them by their owners will be confiscated by the government<br \/>\nand their owners will be prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA bill to this effect will be sent to House of Assembly for passage<br \/>\ninto law to criminalise cattle owners whose cattle are found moving<br \/>\nfrom one location the other in the State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf President Mohammadu Buhari, who is the patron of the Miyetti Allah<br \/>\nCattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has refused to call<br \/>\nthe herdsmen to order, we in Ekiti will no longer harbour herdsmen who<br \/>\ngo about killing our people, destroying our farmlands and raping our<br \/>\nwomen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the same President Buhari that was so concerned about the killing<br \/>\nof Fulani herdsmen in in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of Oyo State such that<br \/>\nhe, as a private citizen led Arewa to Ibadan on October 13, 2000, to<br \/>\nconfront the then Governor of Oyo State, late Alhaji Lam Adesina is<br \/>\nnow keeping silent when the same herdsmen are killing our people, we<br \/>\nmust rise and defend ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our duty to protect our people and we are going to do that<br \/>\nwithout fear or favour.<\/p>\n<p>The governor reiterated that activities of the Fulani Herdsmen was<br \/>\ninimical to the revival of agriculture in the country saying; \u201cone<br \/>\nwonders how Nigerians can go back to farming when those already in the<br \/>\nfarms are losing billions of naira worth of crops to destruction of<br \/>\ntheir farmlands by the Fulani Herdsmen and the Federal Government is<br \/>\nnot doing anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ajx\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gA
