Tunde Bakare, overseer of the Citadel Global Community
Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, says open grazing, which is
currently being practised in the country needs to end.
Speaking on Arise Television on Thursday, Bakare said the
world has moved beyond the practice of open grazing.
According to the pastor, Nigerians must separate
pastoralists from the “terrorists” in the forests causing trouble.
“I will also bring to the attention of Mr President, and I
know his ministers and those in government will be doing the same with him. One
of the issues is open grazing. It is obsolete and it needs to end. It needs to
end because the nations of the earth had gone beyond this,” he said.
“I was in Glasgow, I was in Israel; there are so many things
that we can do about agricultural pastoralism that would stop all the troubles
in our land.
“We’ve lived with Fulani and Fulani have lived with us across
our lands. We must separate this agricultural pastoralism from the second
thing, the terrorists in the forests. The government must fish out the
criminals.
“We must be careful of indiscriminate violence and separate
terrorists in the forests from agricultural pastoralism.”
Bakare, who called for more action to address insecurity in
the country, added that the invasion of peoples’ farms must be stopped.
