Ekiti: Governor Fayose orders arrest of cow - Photos!

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose ordered the arrest of a cow in Ikole Ekiti on Wednesday after herdsmen ran into the bush upon seeing the governor's security men.

According to a statement by his Special Assistant on New Media and Public Communications, Lere Olayinka:

''As Governor Fayose was going to Ikole Ekiti today, he came across herdsmen along Afao Ekiti road, Ado Ekiti.

''The governor demonstrated the seriousness of the State Anti Grazing Law by personally seeing to it that one of the COWS was "arrested" by youths who chased the cows after the herdsmen ran into the bush upon seeing the governor's security men. The remaining cows ran into the bush too.

''Ekiti Grazing Enforcement Marshall (EGEM) will start work in few days time.''

Mr Fayose had on Monday August 29 2016 signed into law a bill which prohibits the grazing of cattle in the state by herdsmen.
