The Bayelsa State Government has warned that it will
henceforth arrest herdsmen, who graze with their cattle elsewhere, other than
the designated grazing site at the Bayelsa Palm area of the state.
The warning came on the heels of successful apprehension
and relocation of a group of herdsmen from the Ijaw National Academy in Kaiama,
Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of the State to the designated grazing
site.
The government in a statement in Yenagoa on Friday by the
Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Chief Boma Spero-Jack,
said that the warning had become imperative due to the alleged refusal of a
number of herdsmen to relocate to the grazing area.
He restated the government’s position, stressing that the
decision to create a grazing site was purely for security reasons to avoid a
possible breakdown of law and order that could arise in case of any clash
between the herdsmen and farmers or any other group of Bayelsans.
He reassured the people of the state that the Seriake
Dickson administration would stop at nothing to protect the lives and property
of the citizens, as well as protect the overall interest of the Ijaw nation.
Spero-Jack, however, called for the cooperation of every
Bayelsan, as the government was doing its utmost best to avert any likely
breakdown of law and order.
He urged the people of the state to be vigilant and not be
deceived to believing that the leadership of the state was ceding valuable land
of the state to herdsmen.
He described such unfounded stories as the handiwork of
mischief makers, saying they were more interested in themselves and the
political gains they wanted to make and clearly not the interest of Bayelsans
and the Ijaw nation.
