The incessant crisis between the herders and farmers in the area was said to be worrisome, and requires urgent and adequate attention, said DSP Bright Edafe, PPRO.
The CP in his remarks expressed his sadness over the development regarding the farmers/herders crisis, particularly as it sometimes climax to the extent of kidnapping farmers and others alike.
He maintained that no society thrives in the midst of insecurity, and Obiaruku as a community depends largely on farming without which there will be shortage of food that can lead to famine and starvation.
The police boss hinted that insecurity has so many challenges to human existences as it can also lead to unemployment and destroys businesses.

The CP however stated that the perpetrators of such dastardly act cannot engage in such alone without the collaboration of some indigenes, as investigations in the past revealed that members of the community are working in cohort with these hoodlums for their selfish interest.
CP Ari Muhammed further advised all stakeholders, including the Hausa community, herders, and farmers, to come together and fish out these persons causing problem for the entire community and advised the Hausa community to look inward and identify the moles among them, urging members of the community to unite in this fight.

The CP while empathizing with them, gave an assurance that the farmers/herder’s crisis will come to halt in Obiaruku, because security of life and properties in the State is his number one priority, and as such, he will not allow any disgruntled element to constitute security threat in the community.
The CP also assured the traditional rulers, the LGA chairman, farmers, women and the youths that he has ordered massive deployment to Obiaruku, imploring the community to partner with the teams deployed to fight these criminals, arrest and ensure that they are made to face the full wrath of the law.
