According to a report by Vanguard, women of Ewu-Urhobo community, Ughelli South Local Government Area, Delta State, have raised alarm over attacks by herdsmen who allegedly rape and chase them away from their farmlands.
The women alleged that the armed herdsmen often claimed that all lands in the country belonged to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The women, who laid siege to the Ewu-Edjokota Road, penultimate Monday, as early as 6.00 am, alleged that the armed herdsmen, who take turns to defile them and maim those that refuse to yield to their lustful desires, feed their herds with their farm produce.
Besides attacking them in the farms, they further alleged that the herdsmen usually laid ambush and robbed traders going to local markets of their goods and flee into the bush.
