Militants reply herdsmen, vow to repel attacks on Delta

 A new militant group, Movement for the Emancipation and Defence of Niger Delta, MEDND, yesterday, threatened that for anyone killed or facility destroyed in Delta State by suspected Northern fanatics in the name of herdsmen, its fighters would retaliate.

Meanwhile, the leader of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum, SMBLF, Chief Edwin Clark, has warned that the South will resist any attempt to deride it over the recent ban on open grazing declared by the region’s governors.

This came as Urhobo Youth Leaders’ Association, UYLA, issued a 48- hour quit notice to all Fulani herdsmen to immediately stop open grazing and take away their cattle from the Delta Central senatorial district.
