Oyo State Government, on Thursday, declared that anti-open grazing law is still in force in the state
The state Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Olasunkanmi Olaleye, announced this during an inter-ministerial press briefing held in Ibadan, the state capital.
He said more than 58 cows have been arrested in the last two years, while many erring herdsmen were charged to the court for violating the law.
Recall the State House of Assembly had, in 2019, passed the anti-open grazing bill, which was later signed into law by the state governor, Seyi Makinde.
Olaleye warned that anyone found culpable of violating the law would be dealt with.
