Delta State Government, on Thursday, issued a final warning to Hausa/Fulani herdsmen, who had allegedly been on rampage, in the state.

The herdsmen have been reportedly killing, maiming and raping natives, as well as destroying farm crops with their cattle.

The Government said such activities would no more acceptable from the herdsmen.

The Delta Government, which took the decision after the State Security Council meeting at Oghara, directed that any herdsman who allowed his cattle to destroy farm crops, kill, or cause bodily harm to farmers in the state, would be arrested and expelled.

According to the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Ovuozorie Macaulay, who briefed journalists at the end of the meeting, the decision was reached because of the increasing act of criminality by cattle rearers in the state.

He stressed that Hausa/Fulani leaders in any community, where such acts were carried out would be made to fish out the erring herdsman. DailyPost
