Some states of the federation like Benue and Taraba now have laws against open grazing In Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, Fulani herdsmen have allegedly continued with open grazing of cattle despite calls against it by the government and citizens of the country.

Some of these states include Benue and Taraba. In Edo, the state Assembly is still battling with a law to stop open grazing.

It was learnt that the need to discourage open grazing followed the alleged atrocities committed by herdsmen in many states. In some cases, the herdsmen are alleged to have defiled women, kill residents and farmers and even raze down communities.
