The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has asked herders to fight for their rights if they feel they had been violated.
The Special Assistant on Media to the minister, Dr Umar Gwandu, disclosed this in an interview with Newsmen on Sunday.
Gwandu stated that Nigerians whose rights had been violated as a result of the signing of the anti-open grazing law could go to court to seek protection.

He made this known while reacting to the law recently signed by Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Abia, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Delta and Ogun states.
He said: “The rights trampled upon are individual rights of Nigerians as constitutionally guaranteed.
“The Nigerians whose rights are violated reserve the right to approach the court for the protection of such rights within the context of freedom of movement among others. It will be viewed with that consideration in mind.”
