Ekiti Residents Protest Killing Of Two Farmers By Herdsmen by OBALOLA55(m): 4:36pm On Mar 06, 2021
Residents of Isaba Ekiti in the Ikole Council area of Ekiti State, on Saturday, protested the killing of two farmers by suspected Fulani herdsmen on Friday.

The angry residents, comprising youths, women and the aged, chanted war songs, made bonfires and rained curses on the killers of the two farmers just as vehicular and commercial activities were affected for a greater part of Saturday while the protesters blocked major roads in the community.

According to PUNCH, the victims were identified as Toyin Akeju, popularly known as Jisoro in the community, while the other, called Daodu, was said to be a labourer invited to work on the farm. The two victims were mauled on their farmland.

A source in Isaba Ekiti said, "The two victims went to the farm on Friday, and they were killed there by Fulani herdsmen who had been terrorising the Ikole, Oke Ako, Irele, Ipao axes. The dead bodies of the two farmers were recovered from the bush on Saturday."

Another source, who said the family, after waiting for the return of the two men from the farm on Friday, approached men of Amotekun Corps, who in turn initiated a search team alongside the local hunters and the police to the farm where they discovered their corpses with gunshot injuries on Saturday morning.

He said, "Obviously, it was a reprisal attack because, on Thursday, these farmers were on the farm and had issues with the herdsmen. The herders went away and returned on Friday to commit this cowardly act against the farmers who only challenged them a day earlier. It is an unfortunate situation."

The Commander, Ekiti Amotekun Corps, Brig. General Joe Komolafe (retd), who confirmed the killing, said his men were already on the criminal elements trail as he assured that the corps would do everything possible to put an end to attacks by suspected herdsmen.

Komolafe said, "The herdsmen allegedly killed the two farmers after an altercation they earlier had on Thursday. We have handed over their corpses to the police while we continue with our investigations".

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti State Command, Sunday Abutu, said that the police had begun an investigation to unravel the remote and immediate cause of the crisis and ensure that culprits were brought to book.

Abutu said, "There was a crisis between some farmers and the herders; in the process, there were casualties. The police were contacted and operatives have been deployed to that axis to maintain peace. The deceased's corpses had been recovered from the Amotekun Corps and deposited in the morgue at Ikole General Hospital.

"The Police Commissioner, Mr Tunde Mobayo, has called for calm. Policemen are on the trail of the suspected killers," Abutu stated.

When it comes to religion Nigerians fight for God but when it comes to their rights, they leave it for God to fight for them.

The best solution to all these attacks is to start killing these blood sucking demons back in secret without the government knowing about it.

Thank God I trust my LG and my community what they can do very well when it comes to matter like this.

In 2017 when a fulani cow drown a minor in one river like that!! instead of them to make peace over it they started shooting sporadically in other to scare the villagers away or to kill them the more I don't know their plan, we changed it for them under two seconds by dealing with them mercilessly and at the same time killing 72 cows at the spot. Those people are cowards when you engage fight with them, till today Buhari never heard of It, army didn't do anything till today. And Till now they know their boundaries when it comes to my L.G.A.

Yoruba when will you wake up? Other tribes have turn your land to bloodbath, they have turn your land to Kidnapping ground.

When will you develop sense of nationality and demand for respect? Enough is enough

No tribe will respect a sissy tribe, no tribe will respect a nice and gentle tribe.

The only thing people understand in this part of the world is eye for an eye and hard stance on one's right, enough of the sophistication and accommodation!

Our leaders should do something fast before it turn to something else.

Protst is a waste of time.
Police wont help or bring back the dead. Attack back. Violence is the only language they understand. Else, the killings wont stop. Ask them in ESN how peaceful the East has been since this year. No more story of herdsmen attacks unlike before.

Amotekun guys should be serious and stop giving excuses like dullard in aso rock,
Even oga drugs Barron TINUBU is not a helping matter, ordinary 30 seconds speech and condemnation of this Fulani menace in south west will go a very long way in curbing this nonsensically nonsense, I don't even know how many people that will remain after all this killing that Oga Tinubu wants to govern comes 2023,
