Women from Iyede Community have blocked the Ugheli-Asaba Road in Delta State over dissatisfaction with the way the government is currently handling the crisis.

Some of the women who blocked the road carried placards with inscriptions such as "Herdsmen destroyed our crops" and "Herdsmen in our bush" as they prevented vehicles from going through.

One of the Women said "Our major pain are the deaths, rape and trauma being suffered by our mothers and young girls at the mercy of marauding herdsmen.

"If we can no longer go to our farms again because of herdsmen, on what do we now survive as poor farmers?"
