Move to ban open rearing, herding and grazing of livestock outside permitted ranches in Oyo State has been regurgitated, as the Open rearing and grazing regulation bill, 2019, passed the second reading stage at Wednesday’s plenary of the state House of Assembly.

The bill, sponsored by Speaker of the Assembly, Honourable Debo Ogundoyin; his deputy, Honourable Abiodun Fadeyi; Majority Leader, Honourable Sanjo Adedoyin and Minority Leader, Honourable Asimiyu Alarape, states that anyone who engages in open rearing or grazing of livestock is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for seven years or a fine of N200,000 or both,


Specifically, the bill prohibits the movement of livestock on foot from one destination to another in the state, with all herdsmen mandated to submit themselves for registration and get an identification card, which must be worn at all times.

Cattle movement is only permissible by rail wagon, truck or pick-up wagon, while any person found moving livestock on foot is liable on conviction to imprisonment for one year or a fine of N50,000 or both.

The penalty for any herdsman who fails to register is imprisonment for two years or a fine of N100,000 or both, while anyone without identification card is liable on conviction to imprisonment for six months or a fine of N50,000 or both.


A minor is prohibited from grazing, rearing or herding of livestock except under the supervision of an adult, while anyone found guilty of possession of offensive weapon within or outside the ranch, is liable on conviction to imprisonment for one year or fine of N100,000 or both.

If the bill is passed into law, any herdsman wishing to set up ranches or anyone intending to graze livestock on ranches is expected to pay a permit fee with the permit, renewable after one year, subject to the governor’s approval.

Such herdsman is expected to apply for one year lease of land from the owner, and get the consent of the Ministry of Environment which will carry out an environmental impact assessment before issuance of the permit.

Also prohibited, by the bill if passed into law, is the sale, transfer or mortgage of any land leased to herdsman for the purpose of ranching.

However, the governor is empowered to revoke the permit, without compensation, to the herdsman for any breach of security.

The Ministry of Agriculture will also be empowered to impound any livestock found grazing or wandering or herding in an area not permitted as a ranch, while impounded livestock not claimed within seven days will be sold on auction to the public and the proceeds paid into the state’s coffers.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any herdsman found guilty of damage to farm or crops shall after evaluation of the damage by the ministry pay the prevailing value of monetary compensation to the owner of the farm.

If any person is injured, the herdsman will be deemed guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for three years or a fine of N50,000 or both.

In addition, the convicted herdsman will pay the medical bill of the injured person including relevant compensation determined by the court.

If the onslaught leads to death of any person, the herdsman, upon conviction, will be sentenced for unlawful homicide under the criminal code law.

Where any livestock strays into another person’s land and causes destruction to crops or contaminates any source of water supply, the herdsman will be liable to pay damages or compensation to the owner or community with a proprietary interest in the land or source of water.

To see to the implementation of the objectives of the bill is an Open Grazing Prohibition Task Force comprising representatives of the state government, security agencies, farmers’ association, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, vigilante and the judiciary.

The eighth Assembly had in 2017 also started similar move to prohibit open grazing, establish controlled grazing and regulate the activities of herdsmen in Oyo State, with the bill also passing the second reading stage.

Thank you!

SW APC governors must follow suit!!!

It worked in Benue. It will work in Yorubaland.

Enough of kissing Buhari's assss because of 2023.

Thank God we have a PDP governor in the SW.

Please tell me more about Benue. It's true that I haven't heard bad news from there in a long time now.

This is a good start.

Banning the travel on foot by cattle herding terrorist bandits is a move that ALL states in the Nigerian federation should adopt RIGHT AWAY, and defaulters should be arrested on sight. Trespassing herdsman who defy that new state law should be subdued by means of withering gunfire, while their entire herd of crop-destroying cattle shot and fed to the homeless.


Any herdsmen that choose to try and resist the police firepower using their robbery weapons, automatically qualify to be united with their imaginary 72 virgins right away, and without a second thought by the officers handling the exercise. Any person interested in cattle ranching should go ahead and purchase the land needed for that enterprise at going market rates, before fencing the ranch completely, to prevent instances of stray cattle getting shot and served to the poor.

Yoruba Christians are pro-yoruba and it seems only PDP Governors are pro-active in protecting Oodua land.

Enemies of yorubas should continue voting for APC. Kudos Seyi, Yoruba Christians are proud of you.

Any solution to this crisis has to go hand in hand with a ban on open grazing

These laws are long overdue in Southern Nigeria. If El Rufai could promulgate laws against preaching of the gospel and other church activities,
then the menace of herdsmen activities in South need to be confronted with all legal and wilful means. Small small our eyes don begin to open,
no more deceitful guise under the mantra of "one Nigeria."

My personal experience with this Fulani herdsmen, I returned home from outside Nigeria just last year, set on to farming this year with little means I can afford, to your surprise my maize plots were grazed down last Friday, my heart bleeds and I feel like committing suicide.
But this information awaken me.
Thanks to the sponsor s of the Bill.
Pls quick application
Oladeebo

Sorry bro.... Farmers are now heavy under the threat.

I like the new bill and its an indication that Buhari and his brethren are not first class citizen after all.

Even in Northern sharia state, they ban sale of alcohol and restrict it completely since they knew its immoral in their religious law.

What is moral cannot be define definetly but can be determined only by the state and state law. The federal government of Buhari should respect every state law protecting her state and not take side.
