Suspected herdsmen have killed a farmer and a policeman in Owan community, Ovia North East local government area.

It was gathered that the farmer whose identity was yet to be ascertained was killed last Saturday by herdsmen.

The community called in the police to help retrieve the body but the herdsmen were said to have fired at the police and killed one of them in the process.

A brother to the farmer was also said to be hit by bullets fired by the herdsmen.

The killing made the community members block the Bénin-Akure highway to protest the killings and sought government attention to the crisis.

Motorists plying the road were stranded for several hours that the protest lasted.

One of the protesters who gave his name as Moses, said herdsmen in the bush have been killing and raping women in their community.

Moses said their crops have been destroyed by the herdsmen.

“They killed our person in the bush. We called in the police so that we can retrieve the body but they attacked again and killed a policeman. The government should come to our aid.

“Herdsmen are terrorising us. We need help so that we can go to our farms.”

When contacted for comments, Edo police spokesman, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, said the policeman did not die.

He said the policeman and other injured persons are receiving treatment in the hospital and said that investigations have commenced.

Farmers at Igbanke community in Orhionmwon local government also protested destruction of the crops by herdsmen.

The farmers who protested to Bénin City said they could no longer enter their farms.

They alleged that yams, cassava and other crops were used to feed cows after which the farmlands are set ablaze by the herdsmen to enable fresh grass to grow.

An elder of Iganke, Mr. James Iguando, said, “We are afraid. We cannot take laws into our hands. We don’t have plantain, yams and others again. We are now hungry. Herdsmen take their cows to eat our produce.

DSP Nwabuzor said the police have received petition on the issue and was working on the matter.

The fulani herdsmen suspected to have done this killings are encouraged by the fact that their chief patron, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd ) is not taking any legal action against them to prosecute them in a court of law.

I am wondering what they will do by the time their GODFATHER is no longer controlling the federal security agencies.

The good people of Edo state and well meaning Nigerians must condemn this barbaric acts by suspected fulani herdsmen.

This is why Nigeria must be restructured to give each state or region of the federation a sense of belonging.

Because as early as 5:20am. I do leave my work to morning mass and we do greet and pass by, as early as that. I see them ever day with lots of cow. Though in raining season, their foot do mess up the road to follow.

fg is swift to go after harmless citizens disarming them who only want to protect themselves, but turn blind eye to the real murderers. nemesis will catch up with you soon.

gift2xl:
It's in the hand of human to best known the way to protect themselves. I perceive the government is playing games, if not why has they not mobilise forces to retrieve those arms the herdsmen are carrying about, and who issued them the licence.

So after the herdsmen fired at the policemen and injured one of them, then the police retreat back right! Allowing the killers herdsmen to continue their killing while the police go back and continue with the useless investigation thereby allowing the innocent people to continue been killed in the hands of this wicked wolves in human clothing.

does the south need the norths permission. the southern politicians are inexcusably stupid.

Is everybody ready for the divorce and going our separate ways like the Soviet Union republics did without a war
Will the Fulanis who are milking the south like their cash cow allow everyone to leave them easily?

are the ibos in the north a problem to their host.

Confirmedzombie:
Let us stop all this rubbish and stop dividing us in Nigeria, every killings now attributed to herdsmen.

The hatred the ibos have for herdsmen will consume them one day.

Many ibos are up North doing well and making money, yet the ones down home kept attributing all killings to herdsmen.

In as much as I condemn this dastardly act, I refuse to attribute it to the herdsmen.

That is how things are in the Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN under the rule of Major General Buhari (rtd) who wants to rename the country as BuhariStan.

Edo State is just too large in size. Just the uninhabited wilderness you will find in Bini land alone is probably as much as the inhabited areas in all of the south east.

I see Fulani herdsmen in Enugu steady, but they never hold gun, is it true that they actually move with guns?

So ur sense is telling u that if thy hold gun u will see it, they will carry their guns like army......

Mraphel:

And they still vote APC. I wonder why?

Edo should set up, train and arm a State vigilante to chase the bandits out of Edo State. If they are expecting the Fulani controlled Police to help them, then they are on a long thing.

leksite120:
To be candid, I don't know the mission of this people for killing o , but it seems like they're being sponsored or something.

You don't know their mission? So all these talks about fulanization agenda mean nothing to you?

Kobicove:
This is the work of bandits.

You people should stop stoking the fire of tribal hatred by blaming Fulani herdsmen

So who are the bandits? You better go read and enlighten yourself.
