The situation with the herdsmen in Ogume, Ndokwa West LGA, is indeed alarming and requires urgent government intervention. The destruction of farms and crops by cattle companies, despite warnings and a passed bill, is unacceptable.
The fact that the herdsmen are armed with AK-47s and chasing farmers away from their own lands is even more disturbing.
It's understandable that the farmers are frustrated and might take matters into their own hands. However, it's essential to encourage them to seek legal recourse and support from the government.
The Delta State Government needs to take immediate action to address this issue. This includes enforcing the passed bill, providing security for the farmers, and holding the cattle companies accountable for their actions.
The people of Ogume and Ndokwa West LGA deserve to live in peace and have their livelihoods protected. It's time for the government to step in and take control of the situation.
