Kanu gives South-East governors 14 days to ban open grazing

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has issued 14 days ultimatum to the five South Eastern governors to ban open grazing.

Kanu in a statement on his Facebook page said failure by the governors to ban the trend will leave the Eastern Security Network with no other option than to step in.

He urged the governors to tow the path of those of South West who have banned open grazing.

“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 a prior warning”.
