Nnamdi Kanu Issues 14 Days Ultimatum To S’East Govs To Ban Open Grazing

The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has issued a 14-days ultimatum to South-East Governors to ban all forms of open grazing in the region.

Kanu gave the ultimatum while commending South West governors for banning open grazing in the state as part of it’s measures to stop the incessant clash between herdsmen and farmers in the region.

In a statement released by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, Kanu warns that the group’s security network would commence enforcement of the anti-grazing law across the entire region if actions are not taken by the governors.

“We wish to humbly and most submissively call upon all the governors of the East, to as a matter of urgency, ban all manner of open grazing in the region in compliance with the 1969 statutory law of #Nigeria that banned such provocative and primitive practice by Fulani herdsmen.

The bold step taken by Yoruba governors in banning open grazing in their region is commendable and as such MUST be reciprocated and consolidated by a similar pronouncement in the East.

If after 14 days there is no firm and decisive action by Eastern governors to ban open grazing in our land, #ESN will step into the breach to commence the enforcement of this 1969 Anti-Grazing Law across the entire region. Don’t say you were not informed or given prior warning.”
