In a move to prevent tragic clashes between herdsmen and rural
farmers, Enugu State government has banned carrying of firearms, grazing
and rearing of cattle at night. Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi announced the
ban during a meeting he held with leaders of Fulani/Shuwa Arab herdsmen
in the state. The governor also stated that compensation will be
paid by herdsmen whose cattle destroy farm crops while the
communities
will pay for any cattle killed by their members.
It was also decided that violators of these resolutions will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
