Also out of the 24 Communities in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area, over half of them or at least fifteen are now occupied by Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen.

The Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen violent settlement in the area follows the high presence of military and police roadblocks mounted because of crude oil exploration; to the extent that from Obinze/Umuagwo to Elele in Rivers State, there are no fewer than 44 roadblocks including at least ten militaries (Army and Navy) roadblocks. The route to Port Harcourt is a journey of not more than one hour under normal circumstances.
