The Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has visited the people of Osissa community in Ndokwa, east Local Government Area, following the alleged herdsmen attacks that killed seven people in the state.

The governor who was accompanied by the Commissioner of Police, Zanna Mohammed Abubakar, meet with the community to see how the government can proffer solutions to their plight.

Members of the community used the opportunity to call on the government to take proactive steps to check the menace of the herdsmen because they no longer feel safe to go to their farms and that has led to low productivity and famine

The governor also called on the communities to be proactive, assuring that any herdsmen caught with dangerous weapons or perceived to be a threat to Deltans would face the laws of the land.

He, however, promised to deploy, a detachment of police officers to help checkmate the menace of the herdsmen, a solution which appears not to have gone down well with the people which resulted in a rowdy and rather provocative gathering

The peace of Delta State in recent times has been disturbed by the alleged killings of herdsmen with frequent clashes between herdsmen and farmers in Delta state which appear to have become a huge challenge.

Though these clashes between herdsmen and farmers has been termed as a national issue the state government here has reiterated the fact that the Federal Government must come up with policies to checkmate activities of herdsmen and put a stop to this menace once and for all
