Several communities in Imo State have cried out over the palpable tension now brewing in the state, following serious security threat posed by the cattle rearers.
.
At the last count, some communities in Ohaji/Egbema local government area and Irete, Owerri West local council area of the state have at different times been attacked by cattle rearers.
.
Ugly stories filtering from the communities said rape, destruction of farmlands, cash crops and brutalisation of farmers by the herdsmen had been the order of the day.
.
Consequently, Irete youths yesterday, stormed Government House, Owerri, to protest the continuing robbery, rape and destruction of crops by the herdsmen that grazed their cows in farmlands in the affected areas.
The earlier we accept 'peace' in this country the better for us all. It's not necessary to be violent all the time. Very bad!
