Hack 70-year-old to death, chop off son’s hand
Monarch: they rape our women and daughters incessantly
We’re already addressing the problem –Police
Suspected herdsmen have continued to wreak havoc at Oja Odan and 28 other communities in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, where they recently killed a 70-year-old farmer and chopped off his son’s hand, reports KUNLE AKINRINADE.

It was just barely few days into the New Year at Agbon village, about 15 kilometres from Oja Odan town in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State. January 10 broke without any ominous signs of evil lurking around Pa Sola Ilo and his son, Abidemi, when they set out at dawn for their farm at Oke Asa amid the blazing harmattan. They had prepared for work hoping to clear their farmland in readiness for the new planting season. But their outing turned tragic moments later when fiendish herdsmen appeared from the bush behind the farm and wasted no time in hacking the elderly Ilo to death, while Abidemi’s wrist was chopped off in what appeared like a scene from the movies.

Abidemi, who was rushed to the state General Hospital at Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government Area, where he is currently undergoing treatment for his ravaged left hand, said the herders swopped on him when he was checking on his oil palm plantation nearby, while his father stood at their main farm near the Jibi River, which flows into the popular Yewa River. Managing to lift up his mutilated hand, he said he ran as fast as he could but the herdsmen pursued him to the point where his late father was standing and hacked his 70-year-old father to death on the spot, while he managed to escape with blood dripping from his severed hand. He raised the alarm, which attracted sympathisers, while the herdsmen bolted.

‘’Planting season has just begun. So, my father and I thought that we should also go to our farm very early in order to clear our farmland. When we got to the farm, I decided to check on an oil palm plantation nearby, while my father stayed back in our main farm. Before I knew it, six stern-looking gangling herdsmen, armed to the teeth, invaded my farm and attacked me with machetes, cutting my wrist off. I crossed over River Jibi, which separates the oil palm plantation from our main farm and ran towards where my father was standing with my bloodied hand.

‘’On sighting my father, my assailants left me and turned their anger on my father, hacking the old man to death on the spot. I was rescued by sympathisers, who brought me to this hospital; it’s almost a hopeless situation as I cannot afford to defray my medical bill. I have been asked to do a scan but where is the money to do so? I am helpless.’’

Abidemi is not the only victim of the herders’ attack in recent times. Other villagers have tasted the violent bile of the nomads, who invaded the area in November, last year. The herdsmen also rained bullets on another youth in the area, identified simply as Akanni, who miraculously survived the attack. Akanni was said to be working on his farm when the herders attacked him and fired several shots at the boy when he ran for his dear life.

Sources said that there are other several victims,who are currently receiving treatment in the neighbouring communities in Benin Republic for gunshots and varying degrees of injury received during their encounters with the herdsmen.

Villages deserted

The terror- herdsmen were said to have camped at Eggua, a neighbouring town, from where they moved with their thousands of cattle ravaging farmlands within the Ketu-Yewa communities, which share border with Republic of Benin.

Palpable fear has since taken over the area comprising about 29 communities, with residents deserting many of the communities for fear of falling victim to the marauding herders. When The Nation visited the area, most of the villages, including Ateru, Moro, Ologun, Agbon, Igbota, Ogunba-Aiyetoro, Oke-Odo, Ibore, Gbokoto, Iselu, Ijale, Ohunbe, Igbeme, Owode-Ketu, Igan-Alade, Lashilo, Oja Odan, Ateru, Moro, Ologun,Iyana Meta, Igbooro, Egbeda and Kuse, were a ghost of themselves as they were virtually deserted. On Monday, there were renewed fears after sporadic gunshots by herdsmen sent panic in the communities, leaving many villagers to flee their homes for fear of being killed by these gang of herders.

How can this type of thing be happening in this century? People being killed and sacked from their villages and their communities taken over by their killers and cows and nobody is doing anything about it.

MetaPhysical isn't even worth mentioning as a human being, the idiot and his pack of clowns are busy burying their cone heads in Nnamdi kanu's ass while Fulani are making a new caliphate in South West
