SUSPECTED herdsmen,
numbering over 20,
yesterday, blocked the
Ohorhor-Bomadi Road,
Delta State, attacking
and dispossessing
passengers of their
valuables.
The Ohorhor-Bomadi
Road is a major road
linking many Ijaw
communities in Bomadi
and part of Burutu Local
Government areas of
the state.
Although details of the
incident was sketchy at
Aproko time, sources at
the community told
Vanguard Aproko on
phone that the
herdsmen barricaded
the road for over 50
minutes, as they
unleashed mayhem on
travellers.
Acting Chairman of
Ohorhor community, Mr.
Power Oba, told
Vanguard Aproko: “I
was not around when
they stormed the road.
But I was informed on
phone that they
barricaded the road
about 3p.m., and
disposed passengers of
valuables.”
Giving details of his
ordeal, a passenger,
who spoke on condition
of anonymity, said: “It
was a scary sight as
they freely robbed us
without fear that police
might drive into them.”
Attempts to speak
with the state Police
Public Relations Officer,
Andrew Aniamaka, was
fruitless as calls to his
phone were
unanswered.
