The conflict over land ownership between the Yoruba community and their Fulani neighbours in some villages in Oyo State, South-west Nigeria, has claimed a life. This is as families displaced by the conflict since mid-January are yet to return to their villages over fear of reprisal attacks, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

On Thursday, Tiamiyu Adeyanju, a Yoruba resident was killed as he tried to stop a herdsman who had brought cattle to drink from a communal stream, members of his family told this newspaper.

They said the injuries that led to his death were inflicted by the herdsman who attacked him with a machete.

Ago’Oyo, Mr Adeyanju’s village, is a walking distance from the troubled villages in our previous story. Until the attack that led to the death of Mr Adeyanju on Thursday, Ago’Oyo was calm as people went about their businesses peacefully, said the head of the village, Abdulganiyu Odunewu, who confirmed the killing to PREMIUM TIMES.

A leader in the Fulani community, Aliyu Usman, while admitting that there was a fight between the deceased and the herdsman, however, told PREMIUM TIMES, that Mr Adeyanju was not murdered but was killed by a “fiery” cow.

He explained that the cow gored the deceased with his horn as he tried to prevent it from drinking from the stream.

“The man (suspected murderer) is nomadic herdsman from Ipapo near Iseyin,” he said. He said the alleged assailant was not a resident of the area. Mr Usman added that he was helping the police to nab the fleeing herdsman

Meanwhile, as of Friday night, the police had arrested six persons in their effort to arrest the suspect.

Very sad, such a pity..

I won't stop saluting Igbos because they fought a 3 solid yr war without loosing an inch of their land hence the respect and envy they enjoy today, but some people have been loosing their territories back to back even without a single gunshot... Fulannis have taken over Kwara, now they are coming down toward Oyo, and once Oyo is gone like Kwara, next is Ogun.

Imagine, they killed you in your own land and still have the temerity to rub it on your face instead of showing remorse or run away like they did in Enugu years back when they attacked in the night and ran away because they knew what awaits them if they had shown their ugly face.

What of the one that happened in Mile 12 where fullanis were fighting Yoruba people on their land in a broad daylight ?..Smh. ...Some clowns will invade this thread now to blame Igbos

Well, their grand master is in Aso rock, if he wins again, then expect the unimaginable. You will loose more of your territories and if Tinubu dares to question buhari, the attached below would be his treatment because Buhari won't be needing his votes again by then.

Like play like play, these bastards go take over south and Buhari just dey shout corruption up and down, threating to jail the corrupts politicians if he wins. I wonder when he would threaten these deadly herdsmen and boko haram. If we complain now, instead for some people to join us and together call a spade a spade so that we can have a peaceful and better Nigeria, they would be calling us sort of names like, wailers, Igbos, PDPs,. I'm more afraid of what happens if Buhari wins than if Atiku wins

.

Let them be prosecuted

When will this madness stop! Everyday these marauding bloodsuckers are emboldened to come into places they don't belong to and kill/destroy for fun and their macabre expansionist plans.

Husband and wife matter.

mushystuff:
When will this madness stop!

Once you vote out Buhari

anybody who comes here again to list eliminating terrorism amongst Buhari's achievements , should be thoroughly examined in a psychiatric hospital....Fulani herdsmen have killed more than boko Haram.....and the interesting thing about it is that...lifeless has told us to live with terrorists, as our neighbours !!!
I'm sorry for buhari and his supporters !

Once you vote out Buhari

I know! It's just so disheartening that innocent citizens are getting wasted because of some merchant of blood they most likely voted in joyously going by voting patterns of 2015

Fulani herdsmen in Oyo

Don't you mean the praying Enugu Governor after Fulani attacked the citizens?

This is child's play compare to what fulani herdsmen will do to yorubats when bulhari return to power.


#SAYNOTOLIFELESSNESS.
#SAYNOTOFULANIHERDMAN.

For this sole reason of Fulani herdsmen invading state OYO, I hereby declare my support for Atiku.



Buhari supports killer herdsmen.

Let's get Nigeria Working Again

How are you sure that those ones the police arrested are fulani??

My SW brothers, if you hear that buharri won in the weekend, start heading towards Benin Republic because it's all over for naija

SAI BARBER

Just testing their microphone. Wait till after election.

Watch how the cowardly Afonjas will be scared to condemn this invasion and killings in their land and face Igbos.

They will soon arrive

They said na Fulani cow gored the Yoruba man to death. Chai what a pity and how can this innocent cow prove his innocence before the court of law?
