Abia Women Protest Attack By Herdsmen

Thousands of women from Bende Local Government Area of Abia state, south east Nigeria, stormed the government house Umuahia, on Wednesday protesting the destruction of their farm lands by herdsmen. 
The peaceful march came the same day a similar protest took place in Makurdi, the Benue state capital.
Represented by his principal secretary, Emma Nwabuko, governor Okezie Ikpeazu said the situation called for urgent attention by the federal government, pointing out that the anti-grazing bill before the senate, was the antidote that will bring lasting solution to the problem.
The women leader, Comfort Nwachukwu, lamented that their crops were always ravaged by cows, while some of their kinsmen have been attacked by the herdsmen.
