Sunday, April 13, 2025 - The Ekiti State Police has arraigned a 50-year-old man, Ladan Abubakar, before an Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court over allegations of unlawful cattle grazing.
The defendant, who has no fixed address, is facing a one-count charge
related to grazing his cattle in an unauthorised location. According to the
police prosecutor, Inspector Akinwale Oriyomi, the offence was committed on
April 1 at about 7:30 a.m. in Ewu-Ekiti.
Oriyomi told the court that Abubakar unlawfully allowed his cattle to
graze in a restricted area, an action that contravenes Section 2 and is
punishable under Section 7 of the Prohibition of Cattle and Other Ruminants
Grazing Law of Ekiti State.
The prosecutor requested an adjournment to allow time to review the case
file and gather his witnesses. The magistrate's decision on the bail
application and future hearing date was pending as of the time of filing this
report.
