Delta State House of Assembly, Tuesday, adopted a resolution calling on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to as a matter of urgency act swiftly to halt incessant attacks by herdsmen across various communities, particularly in Uwheru and Environs, in Ughelli North Local Government Area.

The House worried by the rising spate of insecurity in the State, urged the Governor to direct relevant security agencies to rise up to the challenge.

The resolution came following a motion raised under matters of urgent public importance at Tuesday’s Plenary by the member representing Ughelli North 2 State Constituency, Hon. Spencer Owhofa.

Hon. Owhofa at the the plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor noted that the motion had become imperative following a recent attack by suspected Fulani herdsmen on residents of Uwheru community where a farmer was brutally murdered by the suspected herdsmen as well as inflicting injuries on several others.

In the motion which was seconded by the member representing Ughelli North 1, Hon. Matthew Omonade and unanimously adopted, after rigorous debates on its merits, asked Rt Hon Oborevwori to compel the State commissioner of Police and other relevant government agencies to investigate, arrest and bring to book the herdsmen who invaded Uwheru community on Monday, February 5, 2024 in  Ughelli local government area where one Mr. Ikupeni was killed during the annual fishing festival at Emuede lake.

Apparently unhappy with the development, Hon Owhofa sought the support of his colleagues to ensuring that security measures were beefed up in the various localities through regular 24 hours patrol by a joint operation of the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Local Vigilante as well as the Community Security Corps.

Saying that the development if left on checked, could result to unprecedented breakdown of law and order in the State, the lawmaker asked the security agencies in the State to ensure that the continuous killing, rape, attack and harassment of residents of the State was stopped.
