Youths of Okumoni Community, Okordia clan, in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, have warned that they may be forced into a reprisal attack as self-defence if the killings of innocent indigenes continue.
It was gathered that two chiefs from Zarama and Okumoni communities both in the Okordia clan were allegedly killed while several others were injured in an attack by herdsmen a week ago.
According to the Ijaw Youths Council, IYC, Chairman, Okordia clan, Comrade Raymond Akadumeme, the people can no longer watch herdsmen kill their people, and the security operatives keep mute, adding that it is unacceptable, and they can’t continue living in silence.
“Enough is enough, we will have to protect ourselves violently. Our people were fishing in lake Sam, and they brought their cows to graze where we have a farmland, attempt to refrain them from destroying our cassava farm led to the killing of our deputy paramount ruler,” he said
