Benue Grazing Law Analysis
Summary
The Anti-Open Grazing Law of Benue State is designed to mitigate conflicts between farmers and herders. While it may seem to restrict freedom of movement, it is often justified for public safety and property protection. The case DSS v. Olisa Metuh (2018) LPELR-45647(SC) highlights the balance between individual rights and national security. Other cases like Adesanya v. President of Nigeria and Anachuna v. Attorney General of the Federation discuss limitations on rights and the importance of locus standi. Section 45 of the Nigerian Constitution allows for derogation from fundamental rights under certain conditions, supported by various judicial authorities. Laws are upheld if reasonably justifiable, as seen in Attorney General of Lagos State v. Attorney General of the Federation, which clarifies federal powers over urban planning.Full Conversation
