Herdsmen Invade Ondo State Community, Kill Farmer, Injure Eight Other Residents

Armed herdsmen have attacked the Ago-Oyinbo community at Ala Forest Reserve in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, killing a 50-year-old farmer, Olaoluwa Olorunfemi, during the invasion.

Also, eight other persons in the community were wounded in the violent attack.
The herders wreaked havoc on the people, who are mostly farmers, in the middle of the night without any challenge, Daily Trust reports.

The spokesman for the community, Samuel Olowolafe, who spoke with reporters in Akure, the state capital, on Monday, said the heavily armed herders also looted the property of the victims.

He explained that the situation forced many residents to flee their homes for fear of being caught in another attack.
He added that the herdsmen resorted to sacking the community after their entreaty to be allowed into the community with their cattle to graze was turned down by the youth and elders of the area.

“They do perpetuate their devil act at midnight, cart away our foods, destroy our farm products and even machete people to the extent that they will land in the hospital.”
Olowolafe said it was the second time the herders launched an attack on the agrarian community.

He revealed that the assailants had earlier attacked the community in March, adding that many of the residents had lost loved ones and property worth millions.

Olowolafe asked Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to urgently come to the aid of the community over the fresh attacks on the residents.

“So, what happened to us at the weekend was that these Fulani herdsmen wanted to take over our farmland.

“We are calling on the state government and the security agencies to please come to our aid. Our life is in danger at Powerline and Ago-Oyinbo at Ala Forest Reserve,” he added.
Confirming the incident in a statement Monday night, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Ondo state, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said Olorunfemi was killed by the armed men numbering about four.

Odunlami-Omisanya, in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, stated that the deceased was hacked to death with a cutlass.

She added that the police had already begun their investigation and launched a manhunt for the invaders.

She said the suspects also went away with the mobile phone of the deceased.

“So, the police and family members of the deceased have visited the scene of the incident and his corpse has been evacuated from the scene,” the PPRO added.

Yoruba people have entered one chance this killings wont stop knowing fully we have a weak Yoruba leader that is not the legitimate leader otherwise this will not be happening at all.

Sad

This herdsmen will kill Ondo people finish with the rate which they've been attacking and killing people in that state

How on Earth did APC win ondo state in the last Presidential Elections. It is on record that this Also Rock backed Fulani herdsmen have killed over 2000 Ondo State resident and displaced over 30000 since Buhari came to power in 2015.

This is the third thread on this topic with credible source, yet not on FP

it is a shameful thing that the majority of people in the west still voted for this APC that has kept them suffering for the past eight years because of tribal sentiments. How smart of the Yorubas.

Initially APC wanted denying that Tinubu didn't go for any treatment until obedients busted their lies by revealing a PICC line under Tinubu's arm.

That was when they admitted that tinubu didn't go for treatment but received treatment. 😂 It has always been lies and propaganda for APC.

Someone that came back from resting still wants to rest. How are we sure this one won't spend half of his tenure resting too. I won't be shocked.

The way Tinubu's government will run the west (his brothers) handicap regarding this Herdsmen issue ehh they would wish they were never Nigerians.

Like how the heck do you they think he will fight the Fulanis that put him in power "because of their kingsmen in the bush.

Majority of unwise people making decisions for the literate and well meaning few. Pathetic. 😐

Omo

What's all these nonsense pls. Someone should pls profee solution to this incessant attacks by the marauding herdsmen pls

Fulani herdsmen again.

It's almost over

E don happen

They do perpetuate their devil act at midnight, cart away our foods, destroy our farm products and even machete people to the extent that they will land in the hospital.”

May Devil kill all terrorists and kidnappers, robbers in Nigeria, from boko haram, to ipob terrorist organizations, esn, bandits, evil ones among the herdsmen, ritualists, cannibals,
kidnappers etc

Any sane, honest and hardworking Nigerian will gladly say AMEN to the above if they know they are not supporting and cheering on terrorists and murderers in this nation.

Karma knows everyone address and posterity will judge us all, whether for good or for bad..

If you keep supporting evil, wickedness and all manner of bad things,
Those bad vices will surely follow you wherever you go.

We Rise.

I was there live. Fortunately for me and my family we rubbed the blood of Tinubu on our doorpost and the Fulani herdsmen passed over us. Tinubu is my God!
