The state Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Olasunkanmi Olaleye, announced this during an inter-ministerial press briefing held in Ibadan, the state capital.

He said more than 58 cows have been arrested in the last two years, while many erring herdsmen were charged in court for violating the law.

It was reported that the State House of Assembly had passed the anti-open grazing bill, which was later signed into law by the state governor, Seyi Makinde.

Olaleye warned that anyone found guilty of violating the law would be dealt with.

The commissioner explained that the State Government had constructed a security post at Ijaye Farm Settlement to strengthen security.
