Suspected Herdsmen Attack Motorists In Oyo Community, Angry Residents Burn Fulani Settlement

Some hours before the Oyo State government assured residents of the state that the Ibarapa area of the state was now safe for people to move without fear or intimidation, motorists in three cars were attacked by suspected herdsmen in Eruwa, capital of Ibarapa East Local Government area of the state.

The incident was said to have occurred at a place known as Okolo in Eruwa.

The Commandant of Oyo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps), Col. Olayinka Olayanju (rtd), had earlier declared that Ibarapaland was safe and free of killer herdsmen and kidnappers.

The Commandant, who stated this in a statement made available in Ibadan, said he would volunteer to lead anyone interested in touring the parts of Ibarapaland earlier hit by herders/farmers’ crisis.

He also denounced some audio and video posts on social media, which tend to raise what he called "clearly unfounded alarms" about the Ibarapa security situation, saying he had been moving in and out of the area for days now.

According to him, farmers and the law- abiding people in the area are going about their businesses without molestation.

But an eyewitness told Saharareporters in Ibadan that the attack on the people of Eruwa on Sunday morning led to burning of the Fulani settlement in Eruwa.

He said many travellers who sustained injuries during the attack, have been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment, but however added that nobody was killed in the incident.

Meanwhile, the state government on Monday said the Ministry of Health in the state had commenced the treatment of three victims of herdsmen attacks in Igangan area.

Commissioner for Health, Dr. Bashir Bello, who spoke to newsmen in Ibadan, said that the trio were currently receiving treatment in a government hospital in Ibadan and in stable condition.

Bello stated that the decision to relocate the victims of herdsmen attacks to Ibadan was taken by Makinde during his visit to Igangan last week.

He said that the governor had directed the state's Ministry of Health to arrange for the state government to foot the hospital bills of the three victims.

A statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted the commissioner as saying that all necessary biomedical and laboratory investigations had been conducted on the three victims.

He added that the trio, namely Isaiah Seun, 26; Emmanuel Aderogba, 71; and Adekola Adeyemo, 65, have been attended to by both orthopedic surgeons and specialists, and that they are all doing well at the Ring Road State Hospital, Adeoyo.

He maintained that the cost of all the investigations done, laboratories' investigations and the x-rays were borne by the state government, adding that the hospital management hds been given the mandate to give the victims everything required without paying any bill.

According to Bello, Makinde gave his word at Igangan that the victims would be taken care of, even if it required tertiary health facilities' attention, noting, however, that upon evaluation, it was discovered that the three cases could be managed properly by secondary health facilities.

He said: “Following the directive of His Excellency that the ministry should take charge of the three victims of herdsmen attack at Igangan. The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, the Permanent Secretary of the Hospital Management Board and a team of medical doctors went down and combined with the chairman of Ibarapa North-West LCDA, and brought the three victims; one is Isaiah Seun, a 26-year-old bricklayer and commercial motorcycle rider before the injury occurred. He had a head injury and was fairly conscious and alert when brought in.

"The second was an elderly man of 71 years, Mr. Emmanuel Aderogba, with a fractured right radius. He is also being hospitalised. The third man is 65-years-old, Mr. Adekola Adeyemo, also with a head injury. He was a tree-felling machine operator.

“All of them have been taken care of; X-rays were done for those with fractures and head injuries. All necessary biomedical and laboratory investigations have been conducted. They have been attended to by both orthopedic surgeons and specialists necessary and they are all doing well now in the hospitals. They are all at Ring Road State Hospital, Adeoyo.

"I must mention that all attentions given, investigations done, laboratories investigations and the X-rays were free because the costs were borne by the state government.

"They will also be very happy to report on their state of health and the hospital management has been given the mandate to give them all that is required, that is, without any bills. All bills will be settled by the Hospital Management Board and the Ministry of Health.

"The governor gave the word that he will take special care of them even if it will require tertiary attention. But by our evaluation, it is a case that the secondary health care facility can properly manage. We thank the governor for the very positive action taken and we also thank him for his concern for the welfare of the citizenry entirely.”

Lol

Guess by now Yorubas must be on ronu mode.The ant infested firewood have attracted lizards.

I can't cry more than the bereaved honestly.

If just one man can grabbed the bull by the horns, chased a whole Seriki out of town, get the presidency sweating and the whole Yoruba nation re-energized with new hope. Imagine what 100, 1,000 more can do.

This was how our fathers started from Maye and Lakanle...

First warlords at Ibadan who set the pace for future legends like Oluyole, Ogunomla, Elepo, Ogboriefon, Latosisa.... and hundreds of lesser warlords who sent shockwaves into the heart of the enemy camp ( same enemies we are still fighting till today)

While others find every excuse to look the other way... He stood for the welfare of his people.... and what law in the land exactly will find him guilty for standing up against barbarism, kidnapping, rape and brutal killing of his people by the Fulanis killers in the same country that rewards Boko Haram for killing law enforcement and raiding schools to kidnap students.... and pays herdsmen billions to beg them not to be criminals.

Cowards die many times before their death but a valiant man dies once ( Shakespeare)

Lalasticlala

Even Amotekun is gagged by constitution. They are told it cannot be called terrorism...must be termed farmer/herders clash.

Even if you are a auto parts trader or cement merchant travelling on highway and got attacked, it is still farmer/herder clash.

Makinde is very proud of the state providing health care to victims and spent three paragraphs just to highlight and emphasize the goodwill of govt in caring for people. Ahh, omase o!

This is like a father that neglected his child and mother. Never cared how they feed or where they shelter. News got to him his child was starving. He now got on news and narrate three paragraphs of his kindness in making sure the child was fed to regain strength.

He didn't deny again.. Makinde the scammer should do something serious or allow Igboho back to finish his work



.

Makinde just dey Sidon dey look. Shame

We noting who our real enemies are in Yoruba land.

GSM we noting your show of cowardy.

When indigenous people of the middle belt were lamenting of fulani herdsmen killings, especially those in Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna, Igbos felt their pain and helped to give them moral support through awareness but afonjas decided to play politics with their plight because they wanted to show loyalty to a certain new sheriff in town. However, they forgot that what goes around surely comes around!

Karma at work.

like joke like joke.
Na film dem dey act?

Makinde should do something serious or allow Igboho back to finish his work

BeeBeeOoh:



I can't cry more than the bereaved honestly.

You're posting Nnamdi Kanu picture. You forgot Nnamdi Kanu has made a militia group in Igbo land first time in history. As at yesterday IPOB attempted killing a man who lawfully SOLD HIS LAND to Fulani for cattle rearing.
