Okoye, a professor of Political Science in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, before he ascended to the seat of the Bishop, stated this in a presidential charge he read during the second session of the fourth synod of the Diocese of Ihiala on Saturday.

He said: “Although cattle rearing are key features of animal husbandry, their politicization and seeming treatment as national obligations have attracted objection and resentment. “Armed cattle herders now migrate with their cattle to any place of their choice, occupy forests without the concsent of the government in charge, to graze their cattle in people’s farms, where they kill, maim and rape women with impunity.

Okoye said if this continued, it would hinder Nigerian farmers from being productive and lead to food shortage, while lamenting that the activities of the Fulani herdsmen have totally corrupted the image of the Fulani people.
