Farmers at Nkuwdua, a farming community in the Sekyere Central District of the Asante Region have appealed to the Sekyere Central District Security Council (DISEC) to come to their aid as some Fulani herdsmen have invaded the area.
The farmers appealed to the Asante Regional Security Council to come and assist as the Fulanis were armed with guns and machetes and have now invaded their community and were destroying farm crops, sources of drinking water and posing threat to live and property.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency on phone, Nana Kwadwo Fordjour, a spokesperson for the farmers said the invaders were seen in the area last Sunday and as result of that farmers in isolated areas have abandoned their villages and taken refuge at Nkudwua.
Mr Yaw David, a teacher at Nkudwua D/A primary school said the presence of the Fulanis and their cattle was affecting school attendance as school pupils were afraid to attend classes.
When contacted, Mr Ebenezer Akuoko Frimpong, the District Chief Executive (DCE) admitted the presence of the Fulanis and said the District Security Council (DISEC) have drawn up a road map to deal with the situation.
