Fulani Herdsmen Kill Man, Kidnap Five Others In Delta by just2endowed: 6:06pm On Nov 04, 2014
The police in Asaba on Tuesday said two women and three
boys kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen in Umuachi-Afor,
Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State have
been freed.
According to a statement issued by the Police Public
Relations Office, the kidnap took place on Sunday after the
herdsmen invaded the community, shooting sporadically.
The statement, which was signed by Mr. Roland Preston,
said it was in the process of the kidnap that one Ossai
Oluem, an 18-year-old boy was shot dead.
Preston said preliminary police investigation showed that
the Fulani herdsmen had abducted their victims after one
Frank Odili from the community had seized a rifle from a
Fulani herdsman.
It said the Fulani had insisted on only freeing their hostages
if the firearm was returned to them.
The statement said, “One Honourable London Onwuka, in
company with two others of Umuachi-Afor Community in
Ndokwa East L.G.A of Delta State reported at the Police
Station Ashaka that unidentified suspected Fulani herdsmen
invaded Umuachi-Afor Community, shooting sporadically,
and in the process abducted one Florence Onwuka, 42,
Chukwudi Onwuka, 15, Ugochukwu Onwuka, 13, Innocent
Ndego, 20yrs, Nwabuaku Beninchukwu, 24 and took them
to an unknown destination.
“In the process, one Ossai Oluem, 18 was allegedly shot
dead while large/huge sums of money were stolen by the
said invaders.”
The police said Odili, whose action sparked the chain of
events is at large while efforts were on to arrest the Fulani
herdsmen.
“While measures have been put in place to forestall break
down of law and order in the affected area, the command
appeals to the affected community to remain calm and go
about their lawful businesses,” the statement said.
