Suspected Fulani militants have laid siege to Umeh Community in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, unleashing mayhem on residents of the area.<\/p>\n
According to Vanguard reports, a group of suspected Fulani herders occupy the surrounding bushes in the community, preventing residents from accessing their farms.<\/p>\n
The situation took a dangerous turn Monday as the armed group emerged from the bushes to attack motorcycle riders along the Umeh bridge.<\/p>\n
A community leader and lawyer, Akpovienehe Afahokor, said that recently, one of the community\u2019s youth was shot multiple times in the leg without any provocation, leaving the community in a state of panic.<\/p>\n
Afahokor, in a Facebook post, narrated how the incessant attacks have resulted in the community\u2019s inability to tend to their crops, including pepper, cassava and plantain.<\/p>\n
He said that the situation is further exacerbated by the group\u2019s presence on the roads, making it difficult for people to move around.<\/p>\n
The Lleader added that the community is now living in fear of the violence spreading into the community itself if urgent help does not arrive.<\/p>\n
