In Enugu, 35,000 hectares of rice farms are destroyed by cattle.
A group known as the Enugu State Graduate Farmers has expressed shock at the state’s herders destroying their 35,000 hectares of rice farm.
The farm is situated in Umuiba, Nara, at the Ojoloko farm site in the Nkanu East local government area of Enugu State.
A few farmers in Enugu said in interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday that their investments in farmland had been completely destroyed by cattle.
The bank that had lent them the money was now pursuing them for repayment, which infuriated them.
After grazing, they lit the farm on fire.
