Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has sent a 7-man investigative team to Delta state to look into reports of attacks by armed Fulani herdsmen in parts of the state.

The team is headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police and has already arrived in the state.

This is in response to a petition by a member of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon Evance Ivwurie (Ethiope East) who called for urgent action in the matter of the maauding herdsmen before matters worsen.

Speaking to the Vanguard, Ivwurie said, “The visit by the team is as a result of my letter dated April 24, 2017 to the acting president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo on the need to urgently constitute an investigative panel or commission of inquiries to investigate the killings in the area.

“Upon receipt of my letter, the acting president directed the Inspector General of Police to carry out a discreet investigation on the killings and other forms of criminalities in the area by these suspected armed Fulani herdsmen.

“I also appealed to him that the perpetrators should be unraveled with those behind the act brought to book as well as finding a lasting solution to forestall a reoccurrence of these killings in the area.

“The IGP in a show of professionalism carefully selected a 7 member team from various departments of the Nigeria Police to come to Delta and carry out a discreet investigation in unraveling these perpetrators with a view to bringing them to justice.

“So far, they have met with stakeholders in the state and taken statements from persons including myself and those who have fallen victim to these attacks in the area.
