OLEH — Three persons have been killed and two others injured in renewed hostilities between Fulani herdsmen and residents of Okuke, a satellite village at Amorji in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State.
The people of the community, it was gathered, had been at loggerheads with the herdsmen who they accused of destroying their farmlands and terrorizing them over the last three years.
An indigene of the community told newsmen that the herdsmen had threatened to chase the residents out of Okuke, a development which, he said, prompted Amorji to constitute a 15-man delegation to meet with them (the herdsmen) for a peace talk.
The community indigene, who craved anonymity, said the delegation was on the way for the peace talk when they were ambushed by herdsmen, who he alleged opened fire at them, killing three and inflicting gunshot injuries on two others.
He said one person was still missing and that those injured were receiving treatment at a hospital in Kwale, headquarters of the Ndokwa West Local Government Area, while the bodies of the deceased had been deposited in the mortuary.
He lamented that indigenes of the community could no longer go to their farms or markets in neighbouring communities for fear of being ambushed and attacked by the armed herdsmen.
Police statement
Contacted, Police Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Celestina Kalu, confirmed the killings and said the incident was a suspected reprisal attack.
She disclosed that a Fulani herdsman had earlier been reported killed in the community in the last one week.
Kalu said: “After some days, some of the villagers went to the police to complain that three of their indigenes were missing. A search party was raised and the bodies of three persons were found.”
Kalu said the command was trying to curtail the situation, and that efforts were on to bring the feuding parties together.

These fulani herdsmen and their brutality. .

RIP to the deceased souls

I hear a lot of people castigate ibos of being filled with hate toward other tribe, of being the problem of Nigeria. But, I have never heard of Ibos attacking other tribes in their land or outside their land. The ibo land is one of the most peaceful part of Nigeria, they pay their taxes and rents where ever they finds themselves, they relate well with their host. I see no reason why ibos should be seen as a problem in Nigeria.

The real problem are the fulanis , they look for problem where ever they go, they attack their host unprovoked, destroy farmlands and threaten any community they enters with death. They move around freely with guns. Nobody is talking about this herdsmen bloodsucking demons, their leaders are not condemning them, the press are silent toward their evil action.

Every focus and energy are been channeled on the ibos. The Ibos are hardworking pple who value life, they are not a threat, the threat are the fulanis. The fulanis are the real blood thirsty bigots . This set of pple value cow more than a human life

wonderful, truly wonderful. make i hear say any non muslim go any northern state for 9ja say e wan drag piece of land or area, I pity im life. but these same mallo's will move all through 9ja and drag piece of land or area for any location wey dem like and they get away with it. truly wonderful.
