Elephants invade Ogun farm, injure farmer
By ABIODUN LAWAL
A member of the Ogun House of Assembly, Mr Sola Adams, has cried out over invasion of farmlands by elephants which also injured a farmer at Itashin in Ijebu East Local Government Area of the state.
Adams, who spoke under personal explanation during plenary in Abeokuta, noted that the recent incident where elephants attacked villagers in his constituency remained worrisome.
The lawmaker stated that the injured farmer was receiving treatment at Ijebu Ode General Hospital, calling on relevant agency to do the needful and return the elephants to where they should be.
Responding, Mr Olakunle Oluomo, the Speaker, condemned the invasion of elephants into farmland to the extent of injuring a farmer.
The speaker advised farmers to stop further encroachment on natural habitat of elephants, which had now left their habitat to attack people and destroy farmlands.
According to him, the issue of elephants’ incursion into town which occurred at Itasin in Ijebu East, required the state Ministries of Agriculture and Forestry to engage the Nigerian Conservative Foundation.
”This is towards preserving the species and the entire ecosystem,” he said.
Also during plenary, the speaker challenged the Special Adviser to the State Governor on Security Matters, Mr Olusola Subair, to explore the State Security Trust Fund for the procurement of more security apparatus across the state.
The speaker added that there was need to procure more security apparatus especially the riverine areas to beef up security of lives and property of residents.
He made the call while responding to the submission of his Deputy, Akeem Balogun and Deputy Chief Whip, Olusola Adams.
The lawmakers spoke on the need to tighten security around the border areas with Lagos and Ondo States, especially around Ode-Omi, Iwopin in Ogun Waterside and Imobi in Ijebu East Local Government Areas, respectively. (NAN)

What’s up to all, it’s actually a good for me to visit this site, it includes helpful Information.
I always spent my half an hour to read this webpage’s content all the time along
with a mug of coffee.
Hi, I log on to your blogs regularly. Your writing style is witty, keep it up!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a
blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let me tell you,
you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking
intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive
a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
