Residents of Agogo in the Asante-Akim North District have urged the Regional Security Council (REGSEC) to act decisively to evict all Fulani herdsmen and their cattle from the area.They said the Council should show the political will to implement the recommendations made by the 11-member committee it set up to work out an exit plan for the nomads.The committee in its report presented to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Kwaku Agyemang-Mensah on June 21, advised that the REGSEC used force to throw them out because of their refusal to relocate.Many of the people who spoke to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said they did not want a repeat of the past experience where directives and threats to remove the herdsmen and their animals were never carried out.Mr Pesse Danquah, a member of the committee, however, has given assurance that this time round the story is going to be different.He, therefore, counseled the people to remain patient and exercise restraint until the deadline of the one month period granted the herdsmen to voluntarily leave.It would be recalled that a Kumasi High Court on January 20th ordered the REGSEC to take immediate and decisive action to flush out all cattle from the Agogo Afram Plains.The Council on February 7 inaugurated an 11-member committee to come out with an evacuation plan for the herdsmen by April 30, but it could not complete the assigned job by the end of the period.
