Armed herdsmen have again struck at the farm of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olu Falae, in Akure, Ondo State, engaging police officers in a gun battle in the process.
Mr. Falae said he had been witnessing herdsmen grazing on his farm repeatedly in the past three weeks and decided to seek the help of the police.
It was learnt that when the 15 police officers found them grazing on Thursday and tried to approach them, the herdsmen opened fire.
The herdsmen, said to be 10 in number, immediately left the farm located at Kajola, along Igbatoro Road, after the shootout.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that several cows were killed in the encounter as the herdsmen fled at the superior fire power of the police officers.
The Ondo police spokesperson, Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, said no life was lost in the encounter.
Mr. Falae was kidnapped in September 2015 by Fulani herdsmen and was only let go after four days and the payment of a N5million ransom.
“I invited the police to my farm because the herdsmen have been coming to the farm every day for several weeks and they are no longer hiding,” the Afenifere chieftain said, while speaking on the incident on Thursday.
“They come into the farm around 5 a.m. till 9 a.m., destroyed the farm, so I went to the police for protection and some policemen were sent to the farm.
“They got to the farm and met three separate herds feeding fat on my farm. When the police approached them, they fired at the policemen.”
Mr. Joseph, however, said the policemen succeeded in flushing out the herdsmen from the farm.
He said no arrest was made, but the command had set up a high-powered investigation into the matter.

Sarrki, how can lie Muhammad and his useless master tell us these herdsmen are from Niger, Libya and chad but are roaming freely destroying our land and the government ain't doing anything..... This is madness, and everyday I keep losing faith on this failed state as even the government can't protect citizens from the supposed foreigners ... Does that mean these foreigners are more Nigerian than I am, we need to tell ourselves the truth, Nigeria can't work..

Again? This is getting outta hands.

Operation kill all herdsmen on sight....

...

Shame on the police, you couldn't kill someone with arms like you, but you are very sharp to kill frustrated armless agitators.

The police sure needs restructuring.

Omenka and co won't comment cause the have sold out their conscience for nothing....

..Ehya!!..one Nigeria dole

This is seriously getting out of hand.

Herdsmen that are engaging policemen in shootouts are no more ordinary herdsmen, they are recruited terrorists going around spreading terror and fear against the people for the selfish interest of their principals.

Nigeria is in the hands of dogs, God please save Your people.

These herdsmen get balls......

This contrapment called Nigeria,is stinking seriously every passing day since PMB became the president!....i go sidon dey look!
Who am i to speak for the south-west,i was told a story of 'slaves who love there chains'!

Yoruba Muslims will call this respected elder of theirs a liar all in a bid to defend their Fulani masters.

it is well, herds men engaging police!

Where are my afonja warriors?where are those loud mouth empty barrels?Ur crossed eye elder stateman needs ur epp.

They are only answerable to their lord in bourdillon, a muslim brother like them with a deep pocket. All for a mesh of portage

The arewa youth won't have pen to write the presidency now.

Please, the agitators have arms(hands), they are just unarmed(without weapons) not 'armless'(deformed or amputated).
