Fayemi moves to avert herdsmen, farmers’ clash

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has begun making moves to stop the frequent clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers over grazing land.

The governor has set up a committee to find a way of creating a grazing land for herdsmen to prevent future clashes between the two groups.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Olayinka Balogun, said this in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.

The CP lauded the move, saying this would assist security agencies in the discharge of their duties as there would be less contact between the two groups.

Balogun said that the Ekiti State Government had installed a security alert system in strategic parts of the state to assist the police in crime prevention and control.

He said that the police had put in place strategies to combat and prevent crime and maintain public peace and order.
