Traditional authorities of Tampulma, a communitiy in the North Gonja District of the Northern Region, have called for support to tackle destructive activities of nomadic herdsmen in the area.
People in the community depend heavily on agriculture, however, the nomads are said to be destroying crops in their farms, a situation said to be creating tension between the herdsmen and the locals.
Spokesperson for the Tampulma traditional leaders, Amadu Latif, wants government to intervene because activities of the nomadic herders have become “a threat to the livelihood of the people.”
The nomadic cattle herders, most of whom are Fulanis, have gained notoriety in communities in Ashanti, Eastern and Brong Ahafo regions for destruction of farms and properties.
Fatal clashes with local farmers have also been a recurrent incident.
A police taskforce formed to end the menace in the Ashanti Region has for many years been struggling to stamp out the alien nomads.
