Four Herdsmen Killed In Kogi Attack by Nobody: 12:13am On Jan 21, 2020
￟Youths from Oforachi community in Idah local
government council of Kogi state allegedly killed four
Fulani herdsmen and dumped their bodies in Ofu river
following the killing of one Godwin Egbunu aged 65
years at his farm. An eye witness who simply gives his name as Audu
disclosed that the farmer was attacked last Friday by
some Fulanis herdsmen who invaded his farmland,
destroyed all the crops. According to him, “The farmer went to the police
station where two policemen were asked to follow
the farmer to the said farm and on getting there, the
suspected herdsmen attack the farmer again right in
the presence of the policemen and killed him. “The policemen said they could not stop the killing of
the farmer because they were not armed. This
angered the youths in the community who killed four
Fulanis in retaliation.” Audu, however, said members of the community no
longer sleep but are keeping vigil to ensure Fulanis do
not come and killed them at night in retaliation of their
brothers that were killed by the youth. “Kogi communities such as Ogbogbo, Odolu,
Akpanya, that are close to Oforachi are now living in
fear as a result of possible reprisal attack by the
Fulani herdsmen.” Kogi state has witnessed different attacks in
respective communities in the last five years, with
Tarawi and Oforachi been the latest. Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of Kogi State
Police Command, Mr Williams Anya in a press
statement confirmed the incident to Vanguard on
Monday. According to him, “On the 18 of this month, at about
0700hrs, information was received from Oforachi that
unknown persons suspected to be herdsmen killed
one Godwin Egbunu aged 65 of same addressed at his
farm and as a result angry youths from the village
began attacking any Fulanis on sight. “SUPOL stationed at Ajaka immediately mobilised his
personnel to scene and rescussd two fulani men from
the mob but seriously injured. The injured Fulani men
were rushed to Idah hospital for treatment. “Area Command Idah equally mobilized personnel
from divisions under his command PMF SARS
Operatives reinforced team on ground. “Normalcy has been restored, they took the
photographs of the corpse and was taken to the
general hospital mortuary for autopsy as investigation
continue”. Anya also said One Mohammed Arade a Fulani man of
Egabada village reported at the Ajaka police station
that two of their men namely Abubakar Nahare aged
65 years, and Hassan Natunku aged 60 years were
not seen since the incident happened. “Immediately, a search party led by the Acting Area
Commander Idah swung into action as the corpse of
the two missing Fulani men were recovered from
inside Ofu river at Oforachi with their hands tied into
nine inches block. “The photographs of the deceased was taken and
their corpse was taken to the general hospital
mortuary for autopsy as investigation continued.”

Wait o, policemen left the station bare hands to arrest an herdsmen who usually carry guns and cutlasses.

Then stood there as they watch them slaughter the complanant.

And to think that Boko haram had jst killed over 17 soldiers.

And somebody is questioning Opertion Amotekun.
