Ondo state Government has ordered the immediate closure of a Cattle market purportedly opened by a faction of Akure Cattles Dealers Association

The commissioner for Agriculture Otunba Adegboyega Adefarati who gave the order also directed the law enforcement officers to arrest anybody or cattle find in the vicinity of the illegal market.

He said “In the case of Cattle Market or ranch the Ministry of Agriculture has the sole authority in collaboration with its Lands counterpart”. He said before now the Ogbese to Uso axis was notorious for perennial clashes between farmers and herders, settling up a cattle’s market in a volatile zone would further worsen the security situation in the areas as well as in the state.
