SUSPECTED Fulani herdsmen yesterday kidnapped eight persons in Obiaruku, Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State and held them hostage for several hours during which the victims were allegedly tortured and brutalized.

The victims were said to be working in their farmland when the herdsmen stormed the farm at about 6am and seized the workers on the ground that they (farmers) were responsible for the killing of four cows in the neighborhood.

Youth leader of the community, Comrade Chika Uwabuofu, however said the victims were later released at about 2.30pm by the hostage takers as tension was building in the community.

Uwabuofu who lamented the unwholesome activities of herdsmen in the community, said that “for some time now, Fulani herdsmen have been harassing our men and women in their farmlands, eating the food in their barns and using their cows to destroy their crops.

“On account of this, we have been reporting their activities to the police and a meeting was held by the council chairman, some top government functionaries and the state chairman of the Fulani herdsmen where they given three days to leave the community.

“Truly , they left, but after some days, some women came to report that some Fulani herdsmen were seen with their cows in the community. Then today, they held eight of our men hostage. We are not aware that their cows were killed and butchered as they are claiming.

“We appeal to the government to come and assist us by evacuating them from our farmlands because that is our only means of livelihood.”

As at the time of filing this report, security operatives were said to have be drafted to the community to restore peace and calm frayed nerves of residents.

Bros, Fulani Militias are deadlier than Boko Haram. I am from the North Central, I know what I am talking about

honestly, i don't underatand what is wrong with these village heads and leaders from the south.

why are they yet to form their own vigilante forces and ban herdsmen from their communities.

anyone who supports the grazing bill must be a big fool.

gow much will the owners of these cows pay as taxes that we have to give up our forefathers' lands to feed their cows.

why hasn't any of them invested in ranches where others can aubscribe subcribe for access to feed their cows in the north qhich has mpre land mass than the south?

my people, it is obvious that the only response that will keep these terrorists awaybis violence. arm yourselve because the commander in chief of the fulani tribe is enjoying the show

Jonathan wasn't the ideal candidate to lead Nigeria and buhari has turned out to be just as useless on a magnified scale.

I laugh at your ignorance. Just as i wrote earlier, I am from the NC, I can categorically tell you that Fulani Militias are deadlier than BH. Take it from me. Those demons have been sucking blood since the 1800

This people are worst than Boko Haram

The only problem of this country is there is no quality leaders.

What are the governors doing?

Fulani herdsmen again!

It's either am wasting my time with a half literate or a kid here,from 2002 till date boko haram has killed over 40,000 humans now what's the capacity of a football stadium? Do the math,do fulanis have RPGs do they have IEDS do they have anti aircrafts,do they strap bombs to children and women,do they move in armoured tanks? I am from benue state and if there are people who knows fulanis well it's benue people,mind you fulanis don't just attack people just like that anytime they attack then know it's a revenge mission it's just that they over kill, secondly there are fulanis who come to a community and settle there those ones when ever there is a problem of crops invasion they pay compensation. But the ones who are always migrating are the dangerous ones most of who are not even nigerians those ones are arrogant and very violent, so run along kid!!

So dis ish are nw in delta...... Buhari should do something abt it.....

#killallfulanisnow!!! Yes, They don't deserve to live

buhari pls say sumtin
