The people of the community have called on security agencies to prevent the herdsmen from entering the community.

A resident of the community, anonymously, said many people, especially women, had stopped going to farm for fear of being attacked by the herdsmen.

“They have been handed over to us and when we interrogated them, they told us that they were farmers that they wanted to board a boat to Edo State but we have begun an investigation to ascertain their claims,” he said.

He however, said that there was no report that the suspects had killed anybody with their arms and listed some items recovered from the suspects as guns, cutlasses, daggers and axes.
