Residents of a local Delta community have organised a strong protest to weed out the irate Fulani herdsmen reportedly r*ping, maiming, destroying properties and killing the locals.

A group of women in the Niger Delta region in Nigeria have protested the nefarious activities of the Fulani pastoralists in their homelands.

The President Muhammadu Buhari administration has been riddled with a surge in the criminal activities of the herders migrating from the northern part of the country due to ecological factors to seek greener pastures for their cattle.

The invasion of lands has caused large scale disputes in several states in Nigeria without any strong government interference to curb the menace. The Deltans appear to have gathered inspiration from the famous Aba Women's Riots of 1929 to kick against the attacks by the Fulani herdsmen.

The blocked the Sapele-Warri expressway as they trooped out in large numbers wailing to express their disapproval of the conduct of the herdsmen.
