The Ovie of Idjere, Ethiope West Local Government Area, Delta State, HRM Erhiekevwe I, yesterday, ordered all Fulani herdsmen operating in his domain to vacate within nine days or face the wrath of his people.
The Ovie of Uvwie, HRM, Emmanuel Sideso, the Idjere monarch’s order to the herdsmen came when Commanding Officer of the Nigerian Army, Lt Col. Igwe Partrick paid him a courtesy call over recent killings, rape, and destruction of crops by the herdsmen across farm lands in the community.
The Idjere monarch said: “Farming is my people’s mainstay. The Hausas/Fulani people rearing cattle here have created too many problems, including killing of innocent people. They also defile our women and destroy their crops while grazing. They must leave in nine days or face the wrath of my people who I will unleash on them.”
