The Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has lamented the incursion of herdsmen into the state.

The governor made this known on Friday while receiving the Assistant Inspector General in charge of Zone 5, Rasheed Akintunde in Delta.

Akintunde was on a familiarisation tour of the state police command.

Okowa disclosed that some communities in Uwheru, Ughelli North LGA of the state had been completely taken over by herdsmen who now allegedly charge fees before the community members can access their farms.

He said the safety of the residents of the three affected communities was threatened by the incursion of the herdsmen.

The governor said, “There is a particular community in Delta State, at a point in time, we discussed it at security council meeting and just yesterday (Thursday) while I was in Ughelli North for my regular Town Hall meeting, the people raised a very serious issue about the Uwheru community.

“It is a very pathetic situation, because the President-General of the community spoke on the fact that out of seven communities, three of them are actually occupied by the herdsmen and the farmers are told that they must pay the herdsmen before they can enter their farms and that is very disturbing because it is strange for indigenes to pay money before they can enter their farms and I believe something has to be done before it evolves into a crisis situation.

“And this has been going on for several years but it has gotten worse of recent. So, AIG, this situation has to be addressed immediately as security issue.”

Okowa maintained that only the synergy between the different security agencies in Delta had kept the state safe so far.

The Governor should be sack

Nigeria's future look bleak but I won't give up

The earlier ranching becomes law in all states, the better for us all

It won't be a bad idea if you go take some tutorials from Gov Ayo Fayose on how to be a bold governor with regards to Fulani herdsmen!!!


Dude you are a governor and chief security officer of delta state for crying out loud ..

Make the power known n felt by using it !!!!

Indigenes should actually pay herdsmen to enter their own farms because the Fulanis are Nigeria's landlords.

Indigenes are now tenants in their own lands while the tenants are now the landlords.
This can only happen in ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mumu, is this one a governor?

Your people complained to you, now you are telling us on social media. Some people don't have memory.


Soon you will have to pay the herds men before gaining access to your office.

And the FULANIZATION continues.

I blame three things.

(1) Lugard's lunacy.

(2) Zik's myopia.

(3) Okrah's hesitancy.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN

Wow, wonders shall never stay in one place.

I'm astonished, this Fulani guys seem to have a thousand and one surprises up their sleeves, imagine the audacity of such a thing.

This is an abomination if the story is true

If not for Buhari and Fulani soldiers we Deltans go wound herdsmen

denko:
The Governor should be sack

Your brain should be checked

This country has expired, let us sell it already to the highest bidder

Buhari is in charge. We'll send baba to daura come 2019.

and what have you done about it? Have you sacked the herdsmen?

shithole

is it for security or for more killings?.......

We need to look for a way to make Nigeria great again.

So what steps are gov Okowa and his government taking to stop this evil trend.
When an Igbo business man would peacefully rent a shop outside his region to do his buying and selling in peace, he would be attacked left, right, up and down and centre by his envious host community, just because he is
prosperous and peaceful. But just look at how some desert morons have forcefully taken over their lands for herding, and they are now paying rents to them, their tenants for that matter
At times, I keep wondering when Nigerians would appreciate the blessing of having the Igbos among them.
Just imagine, landlords are now paying rents to their tenants. What an irony!

Buhari wat hv we done? Soon we gona pay dis herdsmen b4 we bleep

Get your voters card instead of lamentations

Anyone with the solution to the problem of our country may step forward to resolve it.

;DNooo, Nooo, Nooooo, I don't believe this story. Haba waaa, it must be a fabrication

haaa

Mumu Okowa..

.go and take some much needed lessons from Ayo Fayose on how to take charge of your state against those homicidal fulani herdsmen,instead of whinning and 'reporting' the matter like a child....gosh Southern Politicians are just sickening!!

The fact is that Ifeanyi Okowa and his likes are greedy and selfish.They know what to do but would not do it because of their political interests.He is running for a second tenure hence does not want to jeopardize his chances by stepping on the toes of the power that be,the presidency.His interest to him is more important than the interest of those he was elected to serve.Shame!

;DNooo, Nooo, Nooooo, I don't believe this story. Haba waaa, it must be a fabrication

Fabrication my asss!! Don’t you see the wanton distruction these devilish and reckless Fulani heardsmen leave on their wake?

Lies

Gradually, the Fulani conquest of Nigeria is almost complete.

And some people think the dullard up there isn't complicit to this.
