Traveler's Stranded over east-west road block by Protesting Delta women

Many travelers were stranded with commercial and social activities brought to a halt following the blockage of East-West Road by protesting women from Ohorhor community, Ughelli North area of Delta State over what they described as incessant killing, r*ping and other attacks on indigenes of the community by armed Fulani herdsmen.

They protested over invasion of farmlands and other atrocities by herdsmen in the community. The protesting women blocked East-West Road in Delta, rendering many travellers including Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 5, Abubakar Mohammed, who was traveling to Bayelsa State for an official assignment stranded.

The Federal government should do something about this Fulani-herdsmen, this their killing, raping and maiming of indigenes is really sprouting out of control. People are right to pick up arms to defend themselves if government cannot assure them of their safety. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
