THE Chairman, All Farmers Association of Nigeria in Ekiti State, Mr. Adeniran Alagbada, said yesterday that the incessant attacks and abduction of farmers and destruction of farmlands by criminal herders will result in famine and adverse effect on the state and nation’s economy.
Alagbada said the criminal herders were taking refuge in the unutilised expanse of land in the government reserves in the state and taking advantage of the place to launch an attack on farmers and wreak havoc on the farmlands.
The farmers’ boss, who spoke in a paper he presented at the just concluded ‘Statewide Security Conference’ organised by Ekiti Council of Elders, urged the state government “to urgently allocate these areas to farmers to plant crops and ensure food security in the state.”
