Yobe State reported a peaceful agricultural season with no conflicts.

According to the Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN), no incidents resulting in loss of life or destruction of property have been recorded in Yobe State from the beginning of the season through August 2026. This was announced by the association's National President, Khalil Mohammed Bello, during a press conference in Damaturu. The event was held as part of an awareness campaign conducted by the association to promote peace and prepare for the 2027 elections.

The conference was attended by representatives of authorities from all 17 local government areas of the state, security agencies, traditional leaders, representatives of civil society, and the press. KACRAN attributes the absence of conflicts to the support from the Yobe State government and the strengthening of cooperation between crop farmers and livestock farmers. According to the association's representatives, farmers and herders are increasingly building partnerships, recognizing their shared role in ensuring food security and economic development.

The association urged both sides to comply with land-use regulations: farmers are advised not to encroach on designated grazing reserves or block cattle transit routes, while livestock farmers are urged to avoid grazing on cultivated fields. In the event of disputes related to land preparation, harvesting, or damage caused by livestock, the parties are instructed to appeal to the authorized bodies and avoid taking the law into their own hands.

KACRAN expressed its gratitude to Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni for his approach to conflict prevention and also noted the contributions of local government authorities, traditional leaders, security agencies, and the North East Development Commission. The organization called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and governors of other states to adopt the stakeholder engagement model used in Yobe State for the peaceful resolution of agrarian disputes.
