The Special Assistant to Gov. Fayose of Ekiti state reported that the Governor personally Arrested Herdsmen grazing illegally along Afao Ekiti while the Governor was on his way to Okole Ekiti.

Mr. Olalere Olayinka, the Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media to Gov Fayose posted this on his Facebook timeline:

“As Governor Fayose was going to Ikole Ekiti today, he came across herdsmen along Afao Ekiti road, Ado Ekiti.

“The governor demonstrated the seriousness of the State Anti Grazing Law by personally seeing to it that one of the COWS was “arrested” by youths who chased the cows after the herdsmen ran into the bush upon seeing the governor’s security men. The remaining cows ran into the bush too.

“Ekiti Grazing Enforcement Marshall (EGEM) will start work in few days time.”

You will recall that the Governor signed into law “Anti Grazing Bill 2016” passed by the House of Assembly. 

The bill which was sponsored by the executive after the killing of two persons by suspected herdsmen in Oke Ako community in Ikole Local Government Area of the state.
