Benue Farmers Urge Gov Alia to Enforce Anti-Open Grazing Law Amid Rising Tensions
Farmers in Benue State are urging Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia to enforce the Grazing Prohibition Ranches Law following recent killings and destruction of farmland by suspected Fulani herders. The appeal comes after two farmers were killed in Gwer West Local Government Area, with residents expressing concerns over the continued open grazing despite the existing law.
The farmers highlighted the challenges they face due to herders freely moving across farmlands, armed and attacking those who resist. The plea for enforcement underscores the ongoing tensions between farmers and herders in the region, emphasizing the need for stricter implementation of anti-open grazing regulations.
