Fear in Ogun community over invasion of Fulani herdsmen
ON MARCH 22, 20202:40 PM

Palpable fear has enveloped residents of Oba Community in Obafemi Owode Local government area of Ogun State following the invasion of the community by some herdsmen.

Findings by Our Correspondent revealed that the herders who were seen along the roads leading to Oba town, the Community that hosts the new Abeokuta Correctional facility and the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, have started erecting structures and clearing bushes around the major roads leading to the town thereby creating fears in the mind of the people.

Some residents of Oba and Alagada who spoke to Vanguard said the presence of the herders was noticed about three weeks ago when they saw tractors clearing some farmlands around Alagada village, about 200 meters to new Abeokuta Correctional Service, and within three days about 20 huts typical of Fulani abodes have started springing up.

The residents said the presence of the herdsmen around their community has become a source of concern for them, alleging that within few days they relocated to the area, the herders allow their cattle to destroy their farms while grazing in the area.


The Baale of Oba, Chief Oludiji Odejimi while speaking with our Correspondent said the manner the herders came to the town calls for proper investigation from the government and law enforcement agencies, positing that their presence there is creating fear in the minds of people.

“In fact, with the insecurity being posed by these Fulani herders, I don’t know why somebody in his right senses will now invite them to come and settle in a place like this”.

Apparently they are now setting up tents along major roads (camps if you may) all over that area... wahala dey sha

Don't worry

Buhari is the best ,according to sophisticated and intelligent ones from the west . And the Fulani's is our friend, cause we're in alliance against the other south ....No cause for alarm.....

Pi...

But why do these people like to occupy land illegally? Hope the security forces will do something about this

If these people would put up the same effort they use in fighting igbos into their own welfare, things would be going swimmingly for them.

Such disturbing news and no Yoruba is even on this thread to register their disgruntle

But add “igbos” to the topic and watch them flood here with bile for people that don’t even care they exist.

I hope their amatokun or whatever warriors come thru for them

They will be handled

Where Is Amotekun?

You are disgrace to igbo people.

I don't really know what's the obsession of some ibo people on naira land with yoruba people.

such illegal occupation is not needed this time around I hope my yoruba peeps will do the needful now that is not too late

DELAY IS DANGEROUS
