Thunder struck on Saturday evening and killed 15 cows in Ikogosi community in Ekiti West Local Government area of Ekiti State.

The Asaoye of Ikogosi-Ekiti, Chief Ayo Ademilua, described the incident as a natural occurrence and strange in the town.

Ademilua told jourrnalists that the incident happened at the Ikogosi Warm Spring site along Ipole – Ekiti road.

Ikogosi Warm Spring is a notable tourism and recreational centre where warm and cold streams met in Ekiti.

The Ikogosi high chief said that the thunder struck during a torrential downpour between 4:00p.m. and 6:02p.m. on Saturday.

“The whole town shook when the thunder struck. Later, some commuters coming into town and those returning home from their farms saw the Fulani herders lamenting that it was the thunder that killed their cattle,” he said.

Also speaking on the incident, the Onikogosi of Ikogosi Ekiti, Oba Abiodun Olorunnisola, said that the herders were making spirited efforts to sell the dead cows to residents, saying that this portends health risk to his people.

The monarch said he already reached out to his colleague at Ipole Ekiti, Oba Oladele Babatola, on the need to warn their subjects against consuming such a desecrated meat.



“The two of us have alerted our subjects that there was an attempt to commence the sale of the cows and we are making concerted efforts to prevent the intending buyers,” he said.

The monarch, however, called on government to evacuate the carcasses of the cows to prevent spread of communicable diseases in the area.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti Command, Mr Sunday Abutu, said the incident was yet to be reported to the police because it was a natural occurrence.

“We have not been told, but if the owner of the cattle later realises that someone was responsible, he will report at the police station and we will surely rise to the occasion, if such happens,”the PPRO said.

DAILY POST

For real

The gods of thunder is not smiling

You guys should return to Sokoto now

Somebody will definately be in shock
Buhari won't like this news
Dear thunder next time please adjust the bearing of the strike to yakubu gowon crescent three arm zone asokoro abuja

Maybe thunder thought that Bubu, Tinubu and Oshomole dey inside those cows. Immediately Edo people released thunder against Oshomole and apc, after they lost election, they ran into those innocent cows, but thunder went looking for them.

Nice one.

Thunder won eat cow jor

The gods must be angry

jamalnation:
Buhari won't like this news

No any sane person should like it. I may not like bad fulani herdsmen but I believe not all of them are bad.
The owner just lost his sweat and we should find a way to show him feeling despite their brothers behaviour.

My only anger is on Buhari who created all these enmity for them.
God will surely punish all the killer fulani herdsmen.

Unreal, Just Unreal.
Incredible News! the report is so Fantastic, it doesn't make Sense

I'm sorry for the loss.
But these herdsmen self,their activities these days are now likened to the NPF,that we no longer feel sorry for them when calamities befall them,it wasn't like this until Buhari resurfaced from Kaduna,Katsina,Kebbi,Rivers,Lagos abii na Abia state when him come from,I don't even know,but I think he's from Akwa Ibom.

To hell with cow meat
I have my goat

What’s with these thunders self?

Are they natural or some people are invoking Sango upon the herdsmen cows?

Just like that!!!!

Thunder from HELL

The thunder has magnitude but missed its rightfully direction.

Karma is obviously dealing with them no peace for the wicked.

south west thunder always mean on herdsmen.

Is this thunder not deliberate?

Wow! That's unfortunate. Poor cows. Perhaps God is tired of all the damage some herdsmen have been doing all around Nigeria so God decided to use this incidence to warn herdsmen to stop the carnage and blood shed they are causing in the country.

Ekiti people sha

Amotekun carries juju now?? If not so, I suspect some divine judgement. If only it will be this way, there will be greater fear of God and man.

We need some bad ass superhero cartoon films in Nigeria. Or video games. The problem go be how to monetize them. because plagiarism and other copyright infringement no go make you see Kobo.
