OYRLEA Seizes 20 Cows in Ibadan for Grazing Violations
The Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA) conducted two operations in Ibadan, impounding a total of 20 cows for violating the state's open grazing law. The first operation took place at Batake Village along the Ibadan-Eruwa Road on the morning of September 30, 2026, after Adewolu Farms reported repeated cattle incursions damaging their farmland, which produces cassava, maize, yam, and cashew.
OYRLEA officials, accompanied by security operatives, seized nine cows during this operation. A follow-up operation occurred on October 1, 2026, in Idi-Iroko, Moniya, where 11 additional cows were impounded for alleged residential rearing and open grazing.
Honourable Justice Aderonke Adekemi Aderemi (Rtd.), Chairperson of OYRLEA, issued a statement reaffirming the authority's commitment to enforcing the Oyo State Open Rearing and Grazing Regulation Law, 2019, aimed at protecting residents and farmers. OYRLEA urged the public to report any violations through appropriate channels.
