So many lives have been lost while property worth
millions of Naira has been destroyed allegedly by
these Fulani marauders .
It was gathered that, the Fulani herdsmen move with their cattle from one of these agrarian communities to the other wreaking havoc.
Further findings have also shown that worse still, they do not respect the borders of the state. They did not only seek pasture they inflict deaths and mayhem.
Records have shown that, not quiet long ago, the
border town of Oja-Odan in Yewa North Local
Government Area of Ogun State was invaded by some Fulani herdsmen who killed a farmer and injured dozens of others.
The farmer, identified as Agbaose Sewotan, was
killed because he complained against the invasion of his farm.
It was learnt that his elder brother, Mr. Oluwole
Sewontan,while narrating their ordeal, said; “this is not the first time that our people were slaughtered like cows on our own soil with impunity. My dear brother was killed simply because he protested the invasion of his farmland by the herdsmen.”
