The Zamfara State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission (ZACPC) threatened to prosecute any person or group of persons encroaching on grazing reserves and livestock corridors.
The commission announced this in a statement released by its public relations officer, Sanusi Ibrahim Tudu, yesterday.
He said the agency had completed its high-level consultative advocacy tour, securing unanimous inter-agency alignment to protect state grazing reserves and cattle corridors (burtali).
The extensive consultations established unified institutional backing across the justice, security, administrative, and grassroots sectors to address the unauthorised land allocations fuelling rural conflicts, he said.
“With the conclusion of this preparatory phase, the commission is transitioning into the next stage of its operation: the direct execution of the 22-day public sensitisation and compliance drive across the state,” the statement said.
He said the next phase will deploy GIS boundary mapping, enforce binding Integrity pacts across the 14 local
government areas and 17 emirates, and initiate legal prosecution against unauthorised occupation of livestock corridors and grazing reserves under an impending State Executive Order
