The federal government has backed herdsmen’s efforts to challenge southern governors over the anti-open grazing bill they recently passed into law.
In an interview with Punch, Special Assistant (Media) to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Dr. Umar Gwandu, said that Nigerians whose rights had been abused might seek protection in court.
The anti-open grazing bill was signed into law in most southern states, including Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Abia, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, and, most recently, Delta and Ogun.
It was also discovered that different police commands had different approaches to enforcing the legislation. While the state police commands in Ebonyi and Osun declared they will implement the law, According to a source in the Lagos State Police Command, the police will solely offer protection to the state’s enforcement team.
Friday Eboka, the Rivers State Police Commissioner, claimed he had not seen a copy of the state’s anti-open grazing ordinance.
Without the assistance of force headquarters, state commands would struggle to implement the law, according to a top police officer.
