From All Africa-
The Anglican Bishop of Ohaji/Egbema diocese in Imo State, Rt. Revd. Chidi Collins Oparaojiaku, has condemned the alleged killing of some people by cattle rearers in Ihie community in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Council of the state.
The bishop in his sermon at the induction of the Men's Christian Fellowship at the St. Michael's Church Egbema Sunday expressed dissatisfaction over the continued destruction of farm crops in the area by the cattle rearers. Bishop Oparaojiaku also condemned the alleged harassment and molestation of people of the area by the cattle rearers, adding that a situation where people are killed because they complained over the destruction of their farms is not acceptable. Describing the action as inhuman, he said if nothing was done to check the excesses of the cattle rearers, it could metamorphose into a crisis. The bishop called on security agents in the state to ensure security of lives and property.
He also called on states and the Federal Government to promulgate laws banning cattle rearers from invading farms, saying such a law would check their activities.
