FG Supports Herdsmen Against Southern Governors On Anti-open Grazing Bill

The Federal Government of Nigeria, yesterday, threw its weight behind moves by herdsmen to sue southern governors over the anti-open grazing bill they recently signed into law.

The Special Assistant to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Dr UMAR GWANDU, who disclosed this in an interview with journalists, said Nigerians whose rights had been violated could go to court to seek protection.

While Ebonyi and Osun state police commands reportedly said they would enforce the law, the Lagos State Police Command stated that it would only provide protection to the enforcement team of the state.
