Upper East Regional Minister has revealed that over One Hundred and Fifty Thousand (150,000) cattle have already entered Ghana for grazing.
The Regional Minister revealed this to Apexnewsgh.com after he met with all the Fulanis in the region to officially interact with them following the ongoing threats from a terrorist group popularly known as Jihadists who are believed to be operating in most countries in the sub-region including our neighboring country Burkina Faso.
As i speak, over One Hundred and Fifty Thousand (150,000) cattle have already entered Ghana. “So I told all my DCEs that, this is even a source of revenue to them because if they are charging one cow Ghc5.00 multiply it by 150,000 cattle. And they come this time to graze and go back and that is what they do every year”.
The Minister said, chiefs in our communities need to be very careful in their transactions by screening anyone coming into their community to graze.
He fears that if no proper screening is done by various chiefs, it might result as a disaster to region and country at large because the Jihadists might take advantage of the opportunity by way of entering the region with cattle.
