Police in Bayelsa state said it had thwarted a clash between herdsmen and farmers in Agudama community in Yenagoa Local Government are of the state.

The Bayelsa State Government had donated a grazing land to herdsmen and subsequently banned indiscriminate and open grazing in the state.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Asinim Butswat, the spokesperson of the state police command told NAN on Friday, that the operation which foiled the clash was led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police.

”On March 19, 2017, at about 10 a.m., His Royal Majesty, Obadiah John Osumu, King of Akenfa-Epie Community raised an alarm about herdsmen activities in Akenfa Community.

”Consequently, an Assistant Commissioner of Police led a team of policemen to the scene.

”The team noticed heavy movement of cattle in the area but diverted them to avoid destruction of farmlands,” he said.

Butswat urged community leaders in the state to maintain peace and always partner with the Police to prevent crime in their communities.
