A group of armed Fulani herdsmen have attacked Lagun, Iyana Offa, Offa, Atagba, Lapata and their surrounding communities in Lagelu Local Council Area of Ibadan, Oyo State injuring a guard and carting away valuables

More than five farms and surrounding agrarian communities were allegedly visited in the attack, with eyewitnesses saying they also suspected that the attackers were Fulani herdsmen because of their mode of dressing.


Villagers, said more than N500,000 was stolen by the attackers. They alleged that apart from money, clothes, shoes and foodstuffs that were taken, cooked food items were taken away by the attackers who had a field day roaming the places for more than seven hours. Various sources also put the number of the attackers at between 30 and 40.

Owner of one of the farms, Ayodele Adigun, called on the Federal Government to intervene in the frequent Fulani herdsmen attack on the communities lying on the border between Oyo and Osun states. He said unless urgent step was taken, the situation could degenerate into an ethnic clash.

A supervisor at the farm, Olaonipekun Ogunkolade, explained that the attackers stormed the farm around 8pm in a commando style, wielding guns and other dangerous weapons.

The supervisor said the attacker gathered the workers into groups and held them hostage while the operation lasted. He said they were thoroughly beaten and threatened with their weapons.

The injured guard was later found in the pool of his own blood after a headcount showed that he was missing. Another worker, simply identified as Haruna Usman, said he escaped death after he was shot by one of the attackers as he was returning to the farm.

Usman, who was coming from Jos in Plateau State, said, “The robber who chased me was speaking Fulani language to me. Later, he spoke Hausa, telling me to stop. He threatened me that he would shoot me if I didn’t stop.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Oyo State Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said he had yet to be briefed about the attack and that he would get back to newsmen.

What?

The government should intervene in this situation, before it gets out of hand.

Can you see? That these fulanis are just beast and evil but am still wondering why some of them are coming our church to worship with us.

This is getting out of hand.

I have an innocent question: Which problem has this present regime solved? I'm not asking sarcsstically. I really wanna know. Coz I cannot fit and think of anyone.

The Fulani carnage continues, if the government fails to do something about this Fulani issue, their host communities might start a genocide campaign against them...SMH

But remember when it happen in Enugu some miscreants said they will build a reservation for cattle grazing by 2060. Lets hear word...

hmmmmmmmm

Buhari through his timid body language has successfully returned US into hobbesian state of nature..It's all man for himself now and Allah for us all.

The only thing left to say is that it wasn't this baaaaad under jonathan. The fulanis are running amok all over the south and the so called president of nigeria is busy shutting his mouth and doing nothing about it bcus they are his people.
