The Coalition of Northern Groups has asked the Federal Government to take immediate steps to evacuate all herdsmen currently in the South back to the north.
This, the group said, was in the light of the unfolding scenario set by the ratification of a regime of laws that potentially seek to limit the free movement of herders in the 17 Southern Nigerian states.
A statement by CNG's Spokesperson, ABDUL-AZEEZ SULEIMAN, in Kaduna said a study had shown that at present, only 10% of the Fulani herdsmen live and conduct business in the entire South.
However, the Northern Elders Forum in a statement has vowed not to accept the ban on open grazing without an alternative.
