Residents of Ozalla communities in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State have barricaded the ever busy Enugu-Port-Harcourt Expressway thereby causing heavy gridlock as herdsmen invade their community.

 Hundreds of road users have been left stranded for several hours.

Our correspondent, who visited the area Monday morning, saw women and children at the Ozalla Police Station where they took refuge all through Sunday night.

A source hinted that trouble started when Fulani herdsmen recovered the remains of one of them, who they alleged was murdered by the residents.

However, the residents, who denied involvement in any killing, further alleged that the ‎herdsmen stormed the area threatening to wipe them out.
