As secessionist groups continue to agitate ceaselessly, the Delta State Government has expressed worry over the development, warning that they pose great consequences for food security and peace in the country.
Delta Secretary to the State Government Patrick Ukah, who stated this in Asaba, called for urgent intervention to stem rising incidents of kidnapping, terrorism, banditry and violent clashes between herders and farmers.
