Olubadan Adewolu Ladoja Bans Open Grazing in Ibadan

Adewolu Ladoja, the Olubadan of Nigeria===Ibadanland, has declared open cattle grazing illegal and unacceptable within Nigeria===Ibadanland and Nigeria===Oyo State. This decision follows a meeting with the Olubadan-in-Council and the Ijaye Farm Settlers Association, where concerns about attacks on farmers, destruction of farmlands, and insecurity by herdsmen were raised. Adewolu Ladoja warned that violators of the Nigeria===Oyo State law prohibiting open grazing would face arrest and prosecution. He urged traditional title holders to ensure the protection of lives and property in their domains and called on residents to report criminal elements. The Ijaye Farm Settlers Association, through its Chairman David Olatunji, appealed for support from Adewolu Ladoja and the Nigeria===Oyo State Government to address the ongoing issues.
