UGHELLI— Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has assured farmers in the state of adequate protection from the aggression of some cattle herdsmen.

Uduaghan, weekend, while commissioning a network of nine internal road projects at Ovwor-Olomu in Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state, said that his administration will not tolerate situations where herdsmen would continue to make farmlands unsafe for farmers.

He said: “We are ready to accept visitors who have genuine business in our state but our visitors should not be problem to us. Let me assure our farmers that government is doing a lot to secure our people, especially, farmers. We have never heard of cattle herdsmen carrying AK 47 rifles, raping women or even killing people in the bush, but, it is happening now and we must stop it.”
