The group said no form of open grazing will be allowed in the entire Igboland, while calling for the arrest of some herdsmen, who they said carry automatic riffles about in the cause of grazing their cattle.
The group said: “The unlawful occupation and destruction of farmlands in Obasa Assa Community in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State by Fulani herdsmen with their cattles has brought great famine on the people as their crops have been eaten up by the cows. “The issue of open grazing has been banned a long time ago, and anyone or group of persons still involved in such outdated practice is on a wicked mission of taking the ancestral lands of the community they are staying.”
