THE State Government has told the Miyetti Allah Kataul Hore that its new anti-open grazing law would be enforced in totality while defaulters would be dealt with according to law.
In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr Doyin Odebowale, yesterday, the government condemned the Miyetti Allah’s statement, saying it showed the group encouraged banditry going on across the country.
He said, “This man (National Secretary of the Miyetti Allah Kataul Hore) admits, without qualms, that members of his association have been frustrated to the point of taking to banditry and other forms of criminality to fight poverty.
“No part of our land will be given to foreigners who cling to a dubious regional protocol as an instrument validating dispossession. Ondo State has a law which prohibits open grazing.”
