A 30 year old palmwine tapper, identified as Mr. Inibu, was
killed yesterday by suspected Fulani herdsmen at Ofagbe
community, Isoko North Local Government Area, Delta State,
while trying to collect palmwine in a bush along the
community’s road to Ashaka, in Ndokwa East Local
Government Area of the state. While another man, Mr.

Thompson Ogege was severely injured by the herdsmen.

The Olotu-Logbo of the Ofagbe Kingdom, Othuke Omejedo
said:
“One woman ran to me that as she was going to the
market, she met the lifeless body of a boy lying on
the ground on the road leading to Ashaka. She said
another one was injured.”
He said the body of the deceased had been deposited in a
mortuary at Ozoro, while the one that was injured, had been
taken to a nearby hospital.
Omejedo said the injured victim told to them that they were
attacked by the Fulani herdsmen as they were tapping their
palmwine.
He said:

“We have never had any problem with the herdsmen
because they have not been living in this
community.”
