Farmers and residents of agrarian communities in some local government areas of Ogun State have some gory tales to tell on the menace of Fulani cattle rearers, otherwise known as Fulani herdsmen.
So many lives have been lost while property worth millions of Naira has been destroyed allegedly by these Fulani marauders .

It was gathered that, the Fulani herdsmen move with their cattle from one of these agrarian communities to the other wreaking havoc.

Further findings have also shown that worse still, they do not respect the borders of the state. They did not only seek pasture they inflict deaths and mayhem.

Records have shown that, not quiet long ago, the border town of Oja-Odan in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State was invaded by some Fulani herdsmen who killed a farmer and injured dozens of others.

The farmer, identified as Agbaose Sewotan, was killed because he complained against the invasion of his farm.

It was learnt that his elder brother, Mr. Oluwole Sewontan,while narrating their ordeal, said; “this is not the first time that our people were slaughtered like cows on our own soil with impunity. My dear brother was killed simply because he protested the invasion of his farmland by the herdsmen.”

Also, a mother of three, Mrs Ayesi Balogun, was allegedly raped and killed by some suspected Fulani herdsmen at Asa village, in the Oja Odan area,Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Balogun, was said to have been killed after being raped on her farm.This damning revelation was contained in a statement made available to our correspondent by the Ketu Advancement Front.

The statement which was signed by its Coordinator and Secretary, Kunle Abiose and Joseph Bankole respectively, read thus, “For the umpteenth time, we, members of Ketu Advancement Front want to register our strong protest with the Government of Senator Ibikunle Amosun over its callous abdication of its constitutional responsibility of ensuring the security of lives of Ketu People from wanton killing by marauding herdsmen.

“We are sad to announce that Mrs Ayesi Balogun, a poor mother of three, was raped and hacked to death on her farm in Asa, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State over the weekend by Fulani herdsmen.

“On sighting her entering the farm, the killer-herdsmen, who had taken over her farm, pounced on her, probably gang raped her, before hacking her to death.”

According to the statement, Balogun’s case brought to 25, the number of innocent and poor people, who had been sent to their early graves in agonising and dehumanising circumstances.

It said, “the latest in the series of the ceaseless murder cases had been reported at the Oja-Odan Police Station for anybody to confirm.

“The state Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that the corpse of Balogun was found in the bush, adding that it had not been established that she was killed by Fulani herdsmen.

He argued that it might be a reprisal killing by the Fulani herdsmen.”A few days ago, the corpse of a Fulani man was found in the bush in the same axis,” he said.

Earlier, a septuagenarian, Pa Mathew Olukogun had narrated how a newly wedded lady in Asa Village, in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, (name withheld) was allegedly raped by armed nomadic Fulani herdsmen.

Speaking on behalf of hundreds of farmers in the area, Olukogun said these marauders have been terrorizing more than 30 communities in the Council Area.

He said the immoral acts by the normal Fulani had instilled fears into the communities, saying, fears of being attacked by the herdsmen had gripped the villagers who were appealing to the state government to come to their aid

He said “aside from this immoral act by the intruders, many of our sons and daughters have been gruesomely murdered in a way that appears as if we don’t have government.

“Our brilliant ones including our wives have been raped, assaulted and even killed by the strangers.” He said many of their wives and ladies that had been raped were either on their way to the market or river to fetch water.

“How would you feel if I mention your wife’s name as one of those that have been raped by the cattle rearers?,” the old man replied in an answer to a question on the need for him to mention names. Olukogun said those who had been raped by the marauders knew themselves.

“Many of our wives , ladies and daughter who have been raped were largely taken to the hospital in Abeokuta, the state capital.”We are losing people as well as being prevented from doing what we know how to do best because of the grazing of our farms by the herdsmen’s cattle.

‘’With the terrible experience of the raping of our daughters and ones, including newly wedded wives, living in our communities is no longer safe, hence, we have deserted the communities in hundreds, praying that the state government would urgently come to our aid.

‘’The worst of the action of the marauders was the raping of many newly wedded wives in our communities and we are bitter about this.”

“In a matter of days, they enter the country through our communities and destroy our farmlands with the indiscriminate grazing of their cattle. We are helpless and that’s why we are appealing to the state government to urgently checkmate them.”

Reacting to the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi said that the Ketu people were only crying wolf where none existed.

While warning the Ketu people not to drag the Police into the matter, he stressed that ‘’the Police could only ensure that there was no breakdown of law and order rather than stopping the Fulani herdsmen from coming into the area.

Meanwhile, a coalition of socio-cultural groups from the area, including Ketu Advancement Front, Ketu South People’s Assembly and Ketu Alliance have alleged that about 21 innocent residents of the area have allegedly been killed by the Fulani herdsmen since 2000.

The representative of the socio-cultural groups, Mr. Lasisi Adewole, said three residents of the area, including Phillip Akanan from Owode-Ketu, Amosu Olofinjin and Akinola Tunde from Agbon-Ojodu have been killed this year alone by the Fulani herdsmen.

Adewole also lamented that all efforts to ensure that the police, the State Security Service and the state government put in place adequate security measures to protect the people, particularly during dry season when the Fulani herdsmen usually encroached and destroyed their farms by the indiscriminate grazing of their cattle had yielded no fruits.

The police or government will never do anything about such situations so the youths of these communities should take it upon themselves. When dealing with such people who understand only one language known as violence, u have to learn to speak it to them as well. The young boys should team-up and form societal gangs, whenever they see these Fulani herdsmen, they should kill them without asking questions.
That's the way out, its just so sad that they abuse women as well and to me that's the most alarming part.
Let the young boys come out and fight for their communities, kill me I kill you God no go vex...

Now you know why Ffk said what he said, and call them herdsmen from hell.... but this yoruba cowards on NL wont speak up if they see igbo thread they start forming James bond

The earlier we nib this fulani herdsmen excesses in the bud, the better for Nigeria.


What happened to ranches? I support FFK on this one.

Shuuuu!

This is sad, those fulani herdsmen are heartless

we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder,what are the south west governors looking at?Its high we take up security measures by ourselves.

The Fulani herds men have killed more people more than HIV and boko haram combined..
Those skinny ijiats needs to be burned.

ffk may be mad but there may be some sense in FFK madness

These nomad-resident clashes are getting too rampant.

You'll bring Fani Kayode to the front page again. I only hopes he takes his drugs before speaking this time around.

[b]These marauding bandits called fulani herdsman have started there neocolonilist attempt to depopulate and dominate southern nigeria like they have already done in the north where there are a minority but occupied 80% of the goverment position and owns 70% of the land.....just like they did in ilorin,they always find willing volunteers to use in their quest for domination of any land. Afonja was once used and now tinubu have opened the way for them again to fully dominate the yorubas silently,ken saro wiwa was used by them to fight the igbos and later hanged by abacha,a serf of the fulani dominated north...saraki a full blooded yoruba man revels i the fantasy of being fulani have fully denied that he even have one drop of yoruba blood...so we have a fulani president,senate president,cheif justice and now attorney general so how can these people be stopped.....as have always being said,fulanis are not africans and do not respect african life and their constant domination of the black race anywhere they go have once agin proven that africans have low iq.....let us hope that the great tribes of the igbos/ijaws and the equally great urobo/itshekiri/efik/ibibio nations would be able resist them[/b]

Okkk
Little wonder BABANGIDA ALIYU of NIGER STATE bundled them back home.

He didn't even wait for them to start settling.

BoKo and Fulani synonymous

I support you on this.

It's becoming unbecoming. .I see this Fulani herdsmen as the Boko Haram of the south

As if Yoruba boys are not unruly enough, imagine, the rape resulting into pregnancies..

Abba Father, pls fix them.

They are friends. Yoruba's and Fulani's. When two good friends are playing, it's better for one to just be a spectator.

Only self defense can help these farmers as the police have been compromised
by the herdsmen sponsors.
