IPOB’s Special Counsel Rubbishes Open Grazing In Nigeria

Aloy Ejimakor, the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB’s) Special Counsel has branded Open Grazing "dangerous and dirty".

According to Ejimakor via his known Twitter handle on Tuesday, Open Grazing "kills people".

The legal practitioner therefore advised herders to build a ranch for their cattles.

Dear Cattle Merchants: Apart from being ILLEGAL, #OpenGrazing is dangerous, medieval, intrusive, threatening, divisive & dirty.

Above all, it KILLS people, decent & innocent people! For God’s sake, build a ranch for your cattle & herdsmen.

It would be recalled that IPOB had lauded South-East governors for "having the courage" to ban open grazing in the region.

South East governors last Monday banned open grazing, expressing their desire to have criminals flushed out of forests.

Dave Umahi, the Governor of Ebonyi State and Chairman Southeast Governors’ Forum who reiterated that the council had also banned the movement of cows by foot enjoined leaders to exhibit patriotism in their conduct to guarantee the unity of the country.

Reacting to the development, proscribed IPOB in a statement last Tuesday by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful said it is delighted.

“We the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to salute the courage of South East Governors for heeding our Leader’s call to ban open grazing in the region," IPOB's statement had read.

"We received with delight the news of a statement credited to the Chairman of South East Governors’ Forum, Dave Umahi, to the effect that open grazing has been banned in all states of the zone.

“IPOB wishes to acknowledge the wisdom of the governors to respect the people’s will for the first time.

"If the governors had not been seized by useless fear and trepidation over the Fulani before now, our region wouldn’t have been in this mess.”

IPOB in the statement while urging all herdsmen in Eastern Nigeria irrespective of their tribe to restrict themselves to the law of the land or relocate to regions where open grazing is allowed said that it would start enforcing the law against open grazing throughout the southeast as soon as possible.
