Residents of Uduophori Community, Delta State, staged a protest on Monday, blocking roads to Bomadi and other areas after suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked Freedom Akpodiete, a 28-year-old motorcyclist, amputating his hand.
Protesters accused the herdsmen of preventing farmers from working, destroying crops, committing sexual violence, and demanding ransoms. Community leaders, including ThankGod Ado and Pa Benjamin Obotorino, condemned the 15-year-long crisis, calling for urgent government intervention.
The community also alleged that herdsmen had taken over a local primary school, forcing its closure. They urged authorities to take immediate action before the situation worsens further.
