Aggrieved youths of Okada community, near Benin City, Edo State, yesterday, murdered a yet-to-be identified Fulani man to avenge the death of an indigene, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV had reported on Tuesday that the woman was allegedly raped and murdered by suspected Fulani Herdsmen who have been terrorising the community.

Residents of the community took to the streets and blocked the ever-busy Benin-Ore expressway for several hours, thereby disrupting vehicular movements.

A check by Igbere TV on Thursday showed that the incident had degenerated into a major crisis late Tuesday night, Wednesday.

A resident of the community who spoke to our correspondent said the indigenes are on the hunt for her killers and already going after Fulani residents.

The Fulani man murdered on Wednesday is said to be among the penetrators of the crime.

It was learnt that the aggrieved youths had already murdered and cut off his legs by the time security agents arrived.

An eyewitness said the man was caught with arms around the farm where the victim had gone to before she was raped and killed.

When contacted by Igbere TV, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, DanMallam Muhammed, said the police had begun investigation into the incident.

He, however, decried that the residents took law into their hands “without waiting for the police investigation.”

The woman went to the farm and she was later discovered dead. The youth suspected it that herdsmen killed her but nobody saw the herdsmen killing her.”

Na this one we dey call...threaten na water, action na blood for Edo.

An eye for an eye would eventually make everyone go blind though.

If not, the bandit herdsmen know say dem no reach na. Their cows many pass them.

I'll keep reiterating it...humanity is dead.

See how people even kids are enjoying such a gory sight without much of a flinch but a full-fledged grin/smile.

This is very worrisome.

so sad

Gradually we 'll get there ...

Since the government has refused to rein in these Fulani murderers, the citizens will simply do the needful.

Had it been the FG had caution this herders all this might not have happened

My people my people.

Dem no gat time for nonsense.

All fvckk ups are treated Manually...

The government has failed. This is the only way.

Barbarians...uncivilized beasts...they said "...they did not see the herdsmen killing her..." but that did not stop them from killing some guy who might be COMPLETELY innocent...kwantiue.

And they had to snap the pix showing everybody's face... The NPF is coming for them

People dont value life in this country. Sad!

This is what happens when you live in a failed country . People take laws into their hands . Failed government.

This country is messed up

Kidnapings

BH

Arm robbery

Man can’t travel by Road with a peaceful mind . Na risk

Thats the solution to this Fulani's problem

Lol, nobody has the monopoly to violence.

Chaos and anarchy

If Benue, Taraba and Plateau indegenes have been doing something like this regularly the Fulanis would have fled their land for long but they were romancing with them because of cow meat and to please the powers that be.
Edo people don't need cow meat or federal appointments to survive, they give it to you as e dey hot.
I hope other ethnics groups been killed by Fulani in their own land will learn.
Our security apparatus is already compromised, it's glaring in our eyes. I know the police commissioner will go after the mob and leave the Fulani killers but he will not sleep peacefully as far he lives in Benin.

If Buhari as Grand Commander of the Federal Republic and Life Patron of Miyetti Allah doesn't find a permanent solution to these herdsmen menace now, very soon every crime in the forest will be tagged herdsmen just the way the devil is blamed for every crime. Iet him continue to keep quiet and watch our beloved country go up in flames.

Any Fulani who defends the murder of the woman, and any Edo guy that defends the murder of this fulani guy....you are all the same .

Barbarians.

This is what happens when people refuse to trust the Police. Yes, the police is not perfect...but they are there for a reason.

Let's not take the laws into our hands...before it spirals out of control...and more innocent people die.

I am not defending Fulanis at all....I am just saying that there are better ways to handle crime. Taking the law into one's hands would only make things worse.

Seems like some people are.misrepresenting what I said, so I'll repeat myself again

I do not support violence whether Fulani or farmer related.

Nigerians, Fulani, farmer, etc should not take the laws. Into. Their hands

An eye for an eye makes the world go blind.

Thank you

The aluu 9 died because of lies.

I would like to thank everyone who responded to me, and who quoted me for all their comments and such.

To those of you who abused me, and called me names, I want you to know that I symphatize with you and share your pain about the whole crisis with the Fulani herdsmen issue. It is sad and painful.

However, let us not support taking the laws into our own hands. Innocent people will die as a result. The same goes for the Fulanis too. You cannot be acting like vagabonds in an area where you are guests. You cannot be using arms and ammunition to settle grieviances where there is the police. Drop the violence and start obeying rule of law.

To everyone reading this, it is very important that as Nigerians or whatever we consider ourselves to be, if we repay violence for violence, we will end up in an unending cycle of violence. And in the course of our long history many have died as a result of that policy. That is why we have a police force, and a government, and that is why it is our duty as citizens...whether famrer or fulani...to see that this sytem works, to stop hiding the guilty...so that no more innocent people can die.

I close with this poem

Kill all those who are in our area”
“Spare not life even if they make pleas”
Innocents, old children and women
Not to be let off as this is good omen

Such nonsense utterance comes to take place
When ethnic cleansing and hatred replace
Peaceful atmosphere with dirty politics
No dead can be counted even with statistics

Why such incidence come to fore al the times?
Is it the only alternative as our goal prime?
Why not put to an end this ugly game?
Leave with time and earn the fame

Who are we to take care for?
Is it the land that we have not known this before?
Is it not the hospitability that is provided?
Clashes within our reach that can be avoided

Why we unnecessarily interfere and meddle?
Why not conciliatory and approach middle?
We live as true natives and sons of the soil
Any ill move counter with force, thwart and fail

People with vested interest may add fuel to fire
Inflame the mind with propaganda and goons hire
Relentless efforts to destabilize and not to tire
With calm and patience efforts to admire

Not to fall prey to any game and temptation
No credence to rumours and easy excitation
Peaceful inhaling and meaningful exhalation
Calm composure and only necessary revelation

It is better to fail grand design
No attoricity on any and orderly resign
Address to self for uphill task and assign
Shun the violence and co -existence sign
No To Violence

Hasmukh Amathalal

Savage country

We have a long way to go o. Will the government will keep folding its hands till things get out of hand?

What if she was killed by ritualists ? And then people thought the fulanis did it ? I condemn this act, and this should not be the way to peace. Dialogue is needed. RIP to the woman and the Fulani man.

Hope they have prepared for the outcome sa
