The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, however on Friday January 29th, demanded the Southeast governors to emulate what their counterpart in the Southwest region did by reinvoking ban on open grazing, adding that it will help curb Fulani herders menaces.
The southeast governors, on Saturday, had issued an official statement, saying they won't ban open grazing in the area.
