It\u2019s a ploy beyond the ordinary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIt must, however, be noted that the Anti-Grazing Law, especially in Ondo State, has come to stay. It shall be zealously guarded and conscionably deployed to protect all residents of Ondo State, notwithstanding their ethnic and religious biases.
