They said the herdsmen should be closely watched so they do not spring up any surprise attacks on residents of the state.
This is following a resolution by the House of Representatives to investigate the alleged killings in Ekiti state.
The lawmakers also ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, to deploy policemen to Oke Ako community to forestall any reprisal attacks.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was also instructed to distribute relief materials to those affected.
Governor Ayo Fayose also banned the Fulani herdsmen from grazing in Ekiti state.
