The ugly event started when a group of Fulani herders invaded Uwheru in Ugheli, Delta State destroying crops in peoples farms with their hungry cows.
The youths of the community rallied themselves and chased the herdsmen away from the farms.
The Fulani herdsmen regrouped themselves and returned with arms killing 4 people at different locations in the community. 10 people are also reported missing or dead.
This led to chaos and when the youths were about to go on a rampage Nigerian Army was deployed to restore order in the community.
The Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Patrick Muoboghare, who is from the community has accused the Nigerian army of supporting and shielding Fulani herders in the community.
The village chief has confirmed that 10 bodies of victims of the attack are still missing up till today.
The herdsmen problem is becoming a very big challenge for Nigerians and farmers. Do you believe the Nigerian Army is complicit in helping some of this herdsmen?
