THE Gbo Kabari Ogoni, an elite organisation of Ogoni elders in Rivers State, has raised the alarm over the invasion of Ogoni communities by armed herdsmen and their forceful occupation of farmlands with their livestock.

‘Gbo Kabari Ogoni’, which means Ogoni Elders Forum, in a statement released in Port Harcourt on Monday, titled, ‘Before we are killed again’ by its Chairman, Chief Monday Abueh, and Chairman Secretary, Desmond Nbete.

The Ogoni elders said for several weeks, the armed herdsmen had chased farmers and occupied vast areas of farmlands under effective cultivation across five communities of Khana and Eleme local government areas of the state.

The statement added that after occupying the farmlands, they graze cows on crops in the affected communities without minding, saying the action was a threat to peace and security of the area, as well as undermine the livelihood of the people and their existence.

The statement reads, “For the past weeks, armed Fulani herdsmen have occupied vast areas of farmlands under effective cultivation in the Ogoni communities of Baa Luekun, Kpaa, Seme Luekun and Dae in Khana Local Government Area and Eteo in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The invaders, armed with sophisticated weapons, especially the dreaded AK-47, some of which are strapped to their cows, have driven away farmers from their farmlands, forcibly occupied the farmlands and are grazing their cows on cultivated crops.

“We are particularly concerned by the fact that when resisted or confronted by community leaders and representatives of our people, they have threatened mayhem and even boasted that the powers-that-be and the security agencies are aware of their presence, and would decisively deal with our people if further confronted.”

Nbotee:
Why are they crying? They should call their leaders who claimed the are not part of Biafra to com and defend them

Ogoni leaders cry for help as armed-bearing Fulani herdsmen occupy farms.

GraceofGod1:
I wish we could reset this country totally.

Juliusmalema:
They should accommodate the gun wielding Herdsmen instead of crying for help.

Ogoni leaders should discuss within themselves and give them lands to settle...

And I am fully sure Wike will approve of it...

Just give them large expanse of land for settlement and all these crying will stop.

xpressionx:
Fulani has an agenda which is to overrun Nigeria.
The indigenous hausas has been overrun remaining,some tribes in southern kaduna,Jo's Arabia and the entire south.
The emergence of Buhari gave them boldness to operate even in the day time.

SlayerForever:
They should go and call Saro Wiwa.

Juliusmalema:



Ken Saro Wiwa is a dead criminal.

Abacha did the right thing by ending the criminal.

If not for religious dichotomy, I would've equated Abacha to A daniel in Judgement
