The social media space has been filled with mixed reactions after Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo placed a ban on the movement of cattle on foot in every part of the state.

According to him, the ban complied with the 2021 anti-open grazing law of the State.He said: “Now that we have a law banning open grazing, the law enforcement agents have been directed to implement it.

“Though the law has been in existence since almost one year ago, cattle rearers keep parading certain areas in the State in contravention to the law.”

Recall that the former governor of the state, Willie Obiano had assented to the Cattle and Other Livestock Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Bill of Anambra State in 2021, but failed to enforce the ban.

However, Soludo while speaking, stated that his administration would make sure the law banning movement of cattle on foot is implemented by September.

Reacting to the ban, many Nigerians via their handles aired their different opinions.
