Zam made this statement on the floor of the Red Chamber on Tuesday while reacting to comments by his colleague from Kogi State. 'The farmers/herders crisis has defied every effort, the only option left to be explored is enactment of a law prohibiting open grazing, so that if you are carrying your cows from Zamfara to Makurdi, you must not kill everybody along the road as there is a law against that,' Zam said.
The federal lawmaker added that cattle rearing is a private business, so there is no need for herders to move cattle from one state to another, causing violence as they graze freely on farmlands in another state. He decried the level of killings in Benue State by Fulani herdsmen, stating that it is unfortunate that some ethnic groups have amassed weapons to fight and kill other tribes, taking over their ancestral homes and chasing them away.
