Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has urged residents of the state to poison the cattle of Fulani herdsmen who eat on their farms.

Fayose also said that there will be no grazing area for Fulani herdsmen in the state.

The governor made the comment on Monday, May 9, 2016, during his monthly media chat, The Nation reports.

“What I said was that we will now be more proactive, if you bring your cow to come and eat up my farmland, I will put Gammalin 20 inside the water they will drink from. That is what I will do to those destroying our communities and raping our wives,” he said.

“I heard that 83 cows have been killed since I made the statement. If you come to Afao and eat up my palm tree, we have set traps for grass cutters and rodents and the trap will catch them.

“There is no land for grazing in Ekiti State. Power to assign land belongs to the governor. Tell them that there is no land for grazing here because it is my right to sign the C of O (Certificate of Occupancy)," he added.

Fayose also said that he’s qualified to be Nigeria’s Vice President.
