6 month jail term for herdsmen

Fulani herders who munch their dairy cattle in regions that are not assigned for nibbling will soon be sent to imprison for six months without a choice of fine. This is as indicated by another bill titled 'Restriction of Cattle and Other Ruminants Grazing in Ekiti, 2016' that was passed by the Ekiti state House of Assembly on Tuesday. The governing bodies at their whole collectively passed the law.

The bill in no time anticipates the accent of the state senator, Ayo Fayose. Speaker of the House, Kola Oluwawole, while talking on the proposed law said;

"On the off chance that the bill is in the end highlighted to by the senator, it will now get to be wrongdoing for any cows, sheep and goat to eat on undesignated land for farms in Ekiti". Part of the new bill peruses ″Anyone discovered disregarding the bill upon conviction might be sentenced to six months in jail without choice of fine. The Governor might by a request assigns land in each of 16 Local Government Areas in the state in appreciation of which Cattle or Ruminants might be allowed to munch. No individual might bring about or allow any cow, bulls, sheep and in addition goat under his or her control to nibble on any area in which the Governor has not assigned as farms" among others. The bill disallows development of dairy cattle by herders and proprietors of goat in the Ekiti after 6 p.m. No dairy cattle or different ruminants should by any methods move in the night, development might be between 7 a.m and 6p.m
