He explained that the whole situation has left farmers helpless and aggravate the situation and appealed to the higher authorities to investigate the alleged favouritism and lack of justice no matter whose oaks is gord.
The summit also advocated that cattle grazing should be halted at the commencement of every farming season until the end of harvest, just as it was the practice decades ago.
The Association maintained that they will continue to prevail on the Christendom to desist from resorting to violence in solving the issue, rather, the should make deliberate efforts to always give a chance.
The Communiqué adds that the association would make deliberate efforts to always give peace a chance as it stands hard against any attempt by its people to usher in any breakdown of law and order.
