EWU— WOMEN of flood-ravaged Ewu-Urhobo community, Ughelli South Local Government Area, Delta State, have cried out that suspected herdsmen attack, rape and chase them away from their farmlands.


The women alleged that the armed herdsmen often claimed that all lands in the country belonged to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The women, who laid siege to the Ewu-Edjokota Road, penultimate Monday, as early as 6.00 am, alleged that the armed herdsmen, who take turns to defile them and maim those that refuse to yield to their lustful desires, feed their herds with their farm produce.


Besides attacking them in the farms, they further alleged that the herdsmen usually laid ambush and robbed traders going to local markets of their goods and flee into the bush.

Herdsmen grazing their cows in my farm attacked me — Atigogo

Recounting her ordeal to Vanguard, Madam Felicia Atigogo stated that she was attacked at her farm by two herdsmen when she tried to stop them from grazing their herds on her cassava farm.

“Owing to the flood that ravaged our community, I acquired another plot of land on lease only for the farm to be invaded by herds that were shepherd into the farm by these herdsmen.

“When I accosted them and tried to stop them from grazing their herd on my cassava, they brought out daggers and machetes and attacked me. I was lucky to have fled away.”

What triggered protest

One of the ladies in the community was not as lucky as Madam Atigogo as she died from wounds inflicted on her by herdsmen, who attacked her in her farm and tried to rape her.

A villager simply identified as Mama Ufuoma told NDV that her death sparked the latest protest.

“She was at her farm with one of her children weeding unknown to them that a group of herdsmen were within the vicinity. The herdsmen immediately pounced on her and tried to rape her.

“While trying to resist them amidst screams, they attacked her with their machetes leaving deep cuts on her and fled into the bush when people came to the scene. She was rushed to the hospital after losing a lot of blood, but died at the hospital,” she said.

They impudently claim Buhari owns all lands

– Woman leader

Woman leader of the community, Mrs. Queen Dieseruvwe, stated that the herdsmen now operate with effrontery, telling them that “all lands in Nigeria, including our communal lands belong to President Muhammadu Buhari.”

“They also claim that we have no rights to prevent them from grazing on our farms because President Muhammadu Buhari owns all the land in Nigeria, hence we cannot claim ownership of the land.

“They uproot our cassava, feed it to their herds and when you try to resist them, they attack you with machete and maim you if you are lucky as some others, or even shoot you.

“So, this is the reason we have barricaded the road as all efforts to reach the governor, police and other security agencies to evict these evil herdsmen from our community have been futile,” she explained.

…accuse Delta govt of neglect

Dieseruvwe also accused the Delta State government of allegedly neglecting the community, especially when their farmlands were destroyed by flood, saying, “This is not about politics of PDP or APC as we are here for the benefit of our community and we won’t leave until these herdsmen are ejected from our farms.”

“We have a government, but we do not feel its impact. How will representatives of the government feel if their wives, sisters and daughters are raped by herdsmen?

“Our farmlands and crops were destroyed as a result of the increase in water level, now we decided to get new locations in the upland only for us to be attacked by these herdsmen, who have been a big problem to us for the past 15 years.

Vehicular movement grounded

Findings by NDV showed that all forms of vehicular movement on the Ewu-Edjokota Road, the only access route linking over 14 communities in Ughelli North and Ughelli South local government areas were grounded as a result of the protest.

The women erected a barricade across the road with woods and set bonfire on both sides of the road, making it impossible to go around the blockade, while three canopies were assembled on the road, where they sat and danced to music blaring from a Disc Jockey.

Commuters were forced to abort their journey at the spot and trek long distance after maneuvering the blockade to the other side of the road where they board commercial motorcycles, popularly known as Okada to continue their trip.

…resist LGA chairmen, Army’s efforts to clear barricade

Efforts by the Ughelli South local council Chairman, Dr. Richard Kofi, his Ughelli North counterpart, Godwin Adode, the Ovie of Ogor kingdom, HRM Okiemute Igere I, and military operatives from the 222 Battalion, Agbarha-Otor to dismantle the barricade were fruitless, as the women insisted the only condition to evacuate the road was immediate eviction of all herdsmen from the area.

We’re doing everything to fish out perpetrators—Muslim community

Condemning the attacks on the women, leader of the Muslim community in Ughelli South, Imam Muhammad Okotie, said: “The Muslim community condemns these attacks and we are doing everything to ensure that these bad herdsmen are brought to book. We are also trying to make sure that Muslims in the area leave in harmony with the locals.”

The write up was in higgledy piggledy. I couldn't understand one thing.

That's because the liepobians behind the story writing kept going willy nilly at the tale I suggests they be traced and a whole cartridge from the new Shipment of the NA's ammo be discharged in that skull of theirs.

Imagine the fronts occupied by yoruba moslems and what they vomiting from their mouth.

Anything to please the Slave Masters.

Fulani herdsmen commits atrocities, but the Zombie in-chief on NL turns around to attack journalists and the media, leaving the issue at hand unaddressed.


These folks are paid to cause a nuisance on NL, and they are doing it very well.


How a grown ass man can sell the future of his entire lineage just so he can earn N30k confounds me.

In other words, The earth is Buhari's, and the fullness thereof


Madness at its peak.

just imagine someone uprooting your cassava or yam and feeding it to his cows.
just take a moment to imagine that.

But according to my urhobo friend, Nnamdi Kanu is his life problem. I wonder what he'll say about this friendly alteration between their mothers and his terrorist Fulani brethren

So much for a shithole that says it will be like America someday.

Spits on Luggard's cursed grave.

The Sudanese runaway terrorist Abdul Aminu Jubrin is the chief patron of Fulani herdsmen terrorists eagerly worshiped by Afonja fake moozlem slaves.

UN should be aware of the ugly activities Muhammadu Buhari Abdul Aminu Jubrin, the Sudanese runaway terrorist and terrorist kinsmen, Fulani herdsmen terrorists.

Yes, shame.
Truth is always a shame to N2 per post BMC zombies.

Pmb is Working!!

IS he not thier patron

Of course all land belong to Buhari. The impetus at which these murderous men unleash their venom should tell anyone that they are backed from up there.
The governors down south have failed in their duties to protect their people because of their political ambitions, none wants to step on Northern toes, hence their show of stupidity while their people suffer. It is high time people stood up for themselves, no one is going to do it for you.

There are people whose stock in trade is to support anything . It is what it is, just ignore these people. Everything to them is politics and their clannish interest, even if people are killed right in front of them .
I know not all from that region is like that though but the attitude of some of them on this site makes you wonder what the issue really is with them. Smh

bantudra is your grandmother safe in DELTA STATE?

A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF ISLAMIST TAQIYYA

Buhari is the grand patron of Miyetti Allah, he should call this terrorist brothers of his to order before they create more trouble for the already troubled country .

Lalasticlala, I know this one is not news enough for you.

If it's the one where Lai Mohammed the ugly smeagol says that Nnamdi Kanu has been "sacked" by IPOB, you'll quickly put it on FP without verification.

Buhari is a disaster.
