The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old Lance Corporal Koza Yabiliok for allegedly selling ammunition to a notorious kidnapper terrorising the state.

Also in the police net were 61 other suspects arrested for various offences in the state.

Yabiliok told journalists while being paraded that he sold out each round of the live ammunition for N400.

The soldier serves in one of the military units at the Jaji Military Cantonment in the state.

But Yabiliok said he never knew that his customer was a kidnapper.

“That is why I sold the ammunition to him. I never knew he is a kidnapper,” he said.

The Police Commissioner in the state, Ali Aji-Janga, while addressing newsmen, said 61 other suspects were arrested for different crimes, such as kidnapping, armed robbery, culpable homicide and cattle rustling.

He said assorted arms, ammunition and other dangerous weapons, drugs and vehicles were recovered from them.

He said,

“During the period under review, we intensified a manhunt for bandits and other criminals across the command through carefully planned strategic operations including ‘Operation Puff Adder’ launched by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, and the ongoing Confidence Building Campaign the command carried out across the state, particularly along our expressways.”

he law:

*Hon. Justice Adewale Johnson Banned Open Grazing in Nigeria in 1969*

What most Nigerians do not know is that there is an existing law against open grazing in Nigeria. It is high time states put this law into practice and end unprovoked killings by Fulani herdsmen.

*Hon.Justice Adewale Thompson’s 1969 Judgment on Open Cattle Grazing – Suit no AB/26/66.*
Hon.Justice Adewale Thompson: 17th April, 1969.
Suit no AB/26/66 at Abeokuta Division of the High Court.

“I do not accept the contention of Defendants that a custom exists which imposes an obligation on the owner of farm to fence his farm whilst the owner of cattle allows his cattle to wander like pests and cause damage.  Such a custom if it exists, is unreasonable and I hold that it is repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience and therefore unenforceable…in that it is highly unreasonable to impose the burden of fencing a farm on the farmer without the corresponding obligation on the cattle owner to fence in his cattle.” Sequence to that I banned open grazing for it is inimical to peace and tranquility and the cattle owners must fence or ranch their animals for peace to reign in these communities.”

This information should be shared widely so that state governors should be aware of it. It is not known that anybody appealed against this decision, so in law any open grazing is a violation of the law. State governors should setup Task forces that will enforce this law and arrest offenders.
