Already, tongues are wagging over the rising conflict between herders and farmers in Nigeria especially in the South-West which is taking a dangerous dimension if not urgently nipped in the bud.

Operatives of the Ondo State Security Network known as the Amotekun Corps have arrested 15 persons who encroached into the Owo forest reserves to mine gold.
The suspects were said to be operating in 50 locations inside the forest as at the time of the arrest.
The operatives gave the names of those arrested as Shuaibu Yahaya, Habbi Usman, Kabiru Waheed, Mohammed Nurudeen, Mohammed Sulaman, Ali Mustapha and Ismaila Wahab.
Others are Musa Zeehed, Gabbar Musa, Sule Adamu Abba Suleman, Usman Kebiru, Yahaya Danladi and Usman Ali Zekeri.
The Amotekun officials said they trekked for four hours into the forest led by local hunters after they got intelligence about activities of the gold miners.
