Three herdsmen of Fulani descent have been arrested in the Asante Akyem North Municipality for allegedly bringing cattle into the area, resulting in the destruction of several farmlands.
The arrests were confirmed by the Asante Akyem North District Police Commander, DSP Edem Aklasu, who told Adom News that municipal authorities had previously cautioned herdsmen against moving cattle into local communities due to frequent crop damage.
DSP Aklasu explained that farmers in the municipality have repeatedly reported instances where the herdsmen’s cattle stray onto their farms, destroying crops and, in some cases, intimidating farmers who attempt to confront them.
He also noted that the movement of the cattle has contributed to the contamination of rivers and streams relied upon by residents for drinking and household use.
The police commander assured that law enforcement and other security agencies will continue working with local authorities to protect farmers, maintain peace, and prevent further incidents in the affected communities.
