The Ijaw Publishers Forum, IPF, has called on governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State to address the persistent attacks on citizens along the Bomadi-Ohoro road.

This is as the body condemned the recent attack on its president, Comrade Ozobo Austin, and other youth leaders on Saturday, February 22, 2025.

Other victims of the attack include Perez Bibaikefie, Publisher Iduwini Voice Newspaper, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Hon Isaiah Ingo and three others.

The terrifying incident took place at Orhor/ Bomadi Road, about a kilometre from Agadama community Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State.

The group, in a call by its Publicity Secretary, Ezekiel Kagbala Publicity, decried the free-handedness with which Fulani herdsmen have laid siege on the road linking several local government areas and villages in the state.

The IPF also charged the Delta State Police Command to join forces with other security agencies to swing into immediate action towards protecting the lives of Deltans and other users of the road.

According to Kagbala, “the Bomadi-Ohoro road has been a dead trap for a while,” describing it as “unfortunate that suspected strangers have continued to make life unbearable for Deltans plying that route”.

Kagbala said reports of “kidnapping, robbery, raping, maiming and killings on the road have become too alarming to overlook. That is why we are calling on Governor Oborevwori to swing into immediate action towards curbing the menace.”

The IPF lamented that communities situated along the road have almost become obsolete as the marauding herdsmen attack and kill their men and rape their women almost on a daily basis.
