There is tension in Uwherhun Community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State as suspected Fulani herdsmen allegedly invaded and killed eight persons in the Urhobo Kingdom.<\/p>\n
Indigenes and residents have abandoned their homes for fear of not being killed as the Fulani herdsmen took over their lands.<\/p>\n
The tragic events began on Thursday, February 13, and resulted in the killing of two persons.<\/p>\n
The rampaging Fulani herdsmen ambushed and killed four other persons Friday night during the lover\u2019s day celebration, DAILY POST can report.<\/p>\n
The Fulani herdsmen shot sporadically in the town on Saturday morning before they killed two other people.<\/p>\n
President-General of Uwherhun Community, Mr. Cassidy Akpedafe confirmed the report in a telephone chat with Our Correspondent.<\/p>\n
Akpedafe said the Fulani herdsmen killed two people when some of their indigenes went to Avwroh Community, a subclan in the Kingdom on Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to Akpedafe, \u201cYesterday(Friday) in the night, four people were killed in Agadama. This morning, there is heavy shooting. About two people died now as we are talking.<\/p>\n
\u201d So, they have invaded the whole Kingdom. As we are talking now, they said they\u2019re passing the other side of Avwroh to the Kingdom coming to the Grammar School in the main town.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we are calling on the Local Government Chairman to come to our aid. We have no access to the whole Kingdom. What we need now is protection first and how we can chase them away from our Kingdom. That\u2019s what we want the Government to do for us.<\/p>\n
\u201d Our people no longer have accommodation because they(Fulani Herdsmen) have taken over everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Contrary to the claims of the President-General of Uwherhun Community, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa in a telephone chat with Our Correspondent in Warri said, \u201cIt is a rumor.\u201d<\/p>\n
CP Inuwa noted that \u201cBoth the Military and the Police are combing the bushes. Not a corpse has been found. If there is any, I will let you know. This is a national security issue, and we will not take it easy. The police have nothing to hide. If there\u2019s any such thing, I will let you know.\u201d he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
