The police are not enforcing the court order because they have been bribed bt the Fulanis, need you to told ? Hence the Agogo citizens have to take matters into their own hands.

They don't beed to even shoot them. Just sprikle your crops with ash or add salt to polythene bags on your crops and all the cattle who eat your crops will die. Can this happen at the North of Ghana or Nigeria? Just poison them and htere will be no cattle to destroy your farms.

Kwasea, do you know some of the farmers take lons to farm, only for fulani people to take thie cattle there at night to feed? Odwan, put yourself in the shoes of the farmers. It is the herdsmen who should restrain thir herd. OFUI. Reason up.

Sammy(USA) I thought that when we travel outside our environments we take interest to learn good and new things to improve the experiences in our lives and enrich the standards of living in our societies by sharing the knowledge and experiences. For you to make such an unintelligent comment by blaming the government for every thing in your community is a sad and ugly shape of things to come. Tell me Sammy do Americans blame President Obama for every thing instead of using their rights and civil liberties?. The citizens in every village and towns in Ghana have community leaders, MPs, church leaders, assembly men etc who can work in partnership as concerned social stake holders to mobilise activities to bring improvements to themselves and their communities without foolishly and making lazy calls to the government. Where is your sense of community development?. So you think the government should do everything for you. Is that what you are experiencing in US? Say something intelligent, Sammy

Surely, this is the way out. "When persuasion fails force must be applied". They should not just wait until the cattle enter their farms. The farmers must rather hunt and chase the animals from the entire farming area.

You just can't give a "shoot-to-kill" order of these animals. It is very criminal,l and the perpetrators could be charged and even jailed.
The advisory should rather be for the farmers to catch these stray animals, bring them to the District stray animals pond, where the owners will be fined/charged when they come for their collection. The money realized would be given to the poor farmers as compensation for the destroyed farm crops... Usually, when the animals owners fail to collect their ponded animals, the district has the power to auction them off, The monies would then be used as compensation and cost for their upkeep in the pond.

A poor farmer going to catch a cow and bring it to your so called 'District stray animals pond' at the watch of a Fulani herdsman? Obed, are you sane? Wonderful!

But sorry, the MP cannot just order his constituents to shoot and kill the animals. It would be illegal and criminal! Unless he wants his people to be jailed, then they should do what I have suggested.
If you want me to advocate another form of criminality.. then I would suggest that the farmers spray their crops with some toxic pesticides that are likely to poison and even kill the cows.. so that the animals would learn not to graze there again. Criminal again, but this time around, the poor farmers can argue in court that the they had only targeted the pests destroying their crops and did not intend to kill any cows. A better plan isn't it?
