The Governor of Terekeka State has issued an order to all Mundari cattle keepers to return to the state immediately.
Juma Ali Malau says the move is aimed at minimizing conflict between cattle keepers and farming communities.
The order states that all the cattle camps currently based in the neighboring states, mainly Jubek, must be relocated to Terekeka.
The governor asked all the county commissioners to implement the order with immediate effect.
“All the heads of organized forces in Terekeka should assist and respond positively in case they’re officially requested by any county commissioner to help where necessary,” partly read the order.
Mr Malau also directed the commissioners and law enforcement agencies to punish those who may not comply with the directive.
