NO fewer than 10 persons have been reportedly killed following a bloody clash between villagers in Ogume community, Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State and herdsmen who were challenged by the villagers for allowing their cattle to vandalise farmlands in the area.

There is growing tension in the community following the clash which commenced on Saturday evening. Both warring parties were still at daggers-drawn at press time, although security has been beefed up in the area

A community leader and human rights activist from the community lamented the late arrival of security agents, saying: “My community was invaded by Hausa herdsmen using AK 47 rifles and six people were killed while three persons still missing are believed to have been killed too. The most painful aspect was that all efforts to make the police to come to our rescue were abortive.”

Contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Lucky Uyabeme, confirmed the story, saying: “I have got in touch with the DPO in charge of the area and 10 bodies have been confirmed recovered. Investigations are on.”

When would these wanton killing of southerners by hausa-fulani cattle rearers come to an end? I am tired of hearing of the incessant attack and rape by hausa cattle rearers on innocent people of the south. Worst of all is that our government and representatives are not doing anything about these attacks. If nigeria is no longer for us all. They should tell us. Some people would kill others and go scottfree simply becos they are from the north.

These Boko-Haramic Herdsmen again?
Well, the Villagers should fight for their rights.

All this herdsmen self their cup don full

My prayers goes to them
