Delta State Government, has warned Hausa/Fulani herdsmen, who had been on rampage, in the state, lately, killing, maiming and raping natives, as well as destroying farm crops with their cattle, that their activities were no more acceptable.

Rising from the State Security Council meeting at Oghara, the state government directed that any herdsman who allowed his cattle to destroy farm crops, kill, or cause bodily harm to farmers in the state, would be arrested and expelled.
.
Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Ovuozorie Macaulay, who briefed journalists at the end of the meeting presided over by Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, said the decision was reached because of the increasing act of criminality by cattle rearers in the state.

He said that Hausa/Fulani leaders in any community, where such acts were carried out would be made to fish out the erring herdsman.
