Chief of Adaklu Waya, Torgbui Lablulu Tegbeza, said the nomadic herdsmen take advantage of the absence of the farmers to cause havoc to their crops.
“This especially takes place during funeral days and when the herdsmen are confronted by the farmers they [nomads]challenge them to produce evidence of those who were responsible of the animals,” he said.
He said they lacked potable drinking water so they had resorted to using unhygienic and polluted sources of water from the Tordze stream.
The inhabitants, he said, shared the water with cattle of the Fulanis who had destroyed the aquatic life.
Some children who spoke with the GNA indicated the situation was alarming and affecting their education.
They, therefore, appealed to the government to go to their aid.
