An alleged attack by suspected herdsmen in Obodogba community, in Okpanam, Oshimili north local council of Delta state has left six persons dead.

The Guardian reports that farm-crops worth millions of naira were destroyed by the herdsmen’s cows following the attack, which occurred on Thursday, October 5.

The fracas reportedly occurred when some residents of Obodogba community noticed that herdsmen had invaded their farmlands to graze cattle.

The villagers were said to have confronted the herdsmen but were threatened with daggers by the invaders.

NAIJ.com gathered that the herdsmen returned to the same farmlands on Thursday where a fight broke out that left six persons killed.

Though the police spokesperson in the state denied the attack, police officers at the Okpanam police division, who did not want their names in the print, said two of the herdsmen had been arrested, and were currently helping the police with further investigation.
