No fewer than seven persons were killed, weekend, in Osun and Ekiti states by gunmen suspected to be bandit


Among the victims was a family of six reportedly killed when the gunmen stormed a farming settlement in Wasinmi village, Irewole local government area of Osun State, while the other was a passenger hit by stray bullets, as the gunmen fired at a moving commercial vehicle in Ekiti State.

Policemen, men of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, and Hunters Group of Nigeria were said to have been deployed in the bush in the area to fish out the killers.


Confirming the Osun attack, yesterday, in Osogbo, the state’s Commissioner of Police, Olawale Olokode, who spoke through his Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Yemisi Opalola, said the incident happened late Saturday night.

Olokode, who noted that police had commenced investigation into the incident, said the perpetrators of the evil act would be brought to justice.

The CP also disclosed that he had moved to the village with detectives to hunt down the perpetrators of the act.


He, however, said preliminary investigation ruled out a possible farmers/herders clash, adding that apart from launching manhunt for the suspects, police had begun discreet investigation into the circumstances behind the killings.

The CP appealed to the people of the state, particularly residents of Ikire and its environs not to panic but collaborate with the Police by giving timely information that would assist in arresting the culprits.

He described the incident as unfortunate and vowed that the police would apprehend the culprits to face the law.


In another attack in Ekiti State, a passenger was reportedly killed as gunmen shot at a commercial vehicle in transit between Ikere Ekiti and Iju, a border town in Ondo State.

The Ekiti PPRO, Sunday Abutu, who confirmed the incident, yesterday, said that the driver of the commercial bus and the passengers ran to a police station in Ikere Ekiti and reported that while they were on their way from Ondo State, the gunmen came out of the bush and started shooting.


The driver was said to have increased his speed to escape the attack but unfortunately, a passenger was hit by a bullet in the process and later died at Ikere General Hospital.

While calling for calm, the state Commissioner of Police, Tunde Mobayo, assured that the command in the two states would collaborate effectively to nab the perpetrators.

The commissioner had earlier in the week, held a town hall security meeting with communities across the state.


Meanwhile, the commander of Ondo State Security outfit, codenamed Amotekun, Adetunji Adeleye, has urged governments to remove limitations to the crime bursting responsibility of the corps in the region by allowing it carry sophisticated weapons.

Adeleye, who made the plea, weekend, said criminals were at advantage over security agents in terms of weapons in the South-West.

Speaking in Akure, the commander said the agencies needed encouragement from government to be able to rid the states of the activities of criminally-minded elements.


“The agencies are looking forward to acquiring more state-of-the-art equipment to combat insecurity in the states. There’s need to procure modern equipment to confront criminals.

“Amotekun is doing well in terms of remuneration of officers and payment of salary but calls for more government support.

“The state governor has just approved the recruitment of additional personnel and in terms of personnel, we are okay.

“Though, we in Ondo State have equipment but we are asking for more funding, so we can buy state- of-the-art additional equipment to combat crimes in the state.


“The collaboration with other security agencies has been yielding results through the knowledge and familiarity of the terrain by Amotekun officials who understand their own environment.

“We have a very robust relationship, we share intelligence with the Civil Defence, the Police, the Army, the DSS and we do operations together.

“There are interiors they don’t have the knowledge of, and if they have anything to do there, we take them there since we have our personnel across the 18 local government areas of the state.


“When we get to terrible terrains like in the riverine area, we have specialists and personnel who can stay under the water for 24 hours and we are always with them in whatever operation that needed to be done.

“The regular Nigeria Police Force cannot do it alone. Other security agencies must step in to secure the country. The Amotekun Corps are making sacrifices and they are ready to work with the armed forces.”

Not funny bro, I am Deltan and I voted for GEJ during the last election but what’s done is done. How to flush out these people bringing war to our doorstep should be the talk of the day and not all this tribalistic fights between y’all here and there. It’s irritating

Who is dreaming about one Nigeria with you

MansoryMX:



As long as this country hasn’t divide yet, I won’t use the term Yorubaland. Your kinsmen are living there are well, mine are also living there. Your kinsmen are in my Delta State, mine are in yours. I have been to all the Eastern states and lived in all. We are still guided under one constitution and that means, Wetin touch East touch West and the rest regions. Vice versa

what is happening in yoruba land is very little compared to what fulanis did to plateau , Benue and southern Kaduna people, was there a state of emergency? the little clashes in yoruba land is not enough to call for a state of emergency, yorubas should deal with it themselves .

Let them continue giving unnecessary excuses until Fulani's dominates then, be like say Sunday Igboho don leave there matter

Oya go to Aso Rock and make sure you take scissor or engine saw along, use it in and dividing not just the constitution but the amalgamation documents holding this country together. You sit down at home eating Okpa and Oha soup to filled stomach, come online and type nonsense. Ordinary endsars protest na your type dey spend the whole day in nairaland typing rubbish !

Are you done? People like me will never dream about one or better Nigeria because I know it's not possible, foolish people like you will still vote in dead wood as a president

Yar!ba must hear wihn.

MansoryMX:



Since we aren’t dividing anytime soon, what else are you dreaming for? War? Have you been to a war torn nation to see how it is for yourself? The happening right now are symptoms of war and trust me bro! You don’t wanna witness what’s it’s like being in a war zone! Where you will lose loved ones or even your life!

you are talking out of point bro..who is talking about war?? so u are hoping on these corrupt urchins called leaders to hand you a better Nigeria...e be like say u just arrive Nigeria

They are demanding...sheybi herdsmen bandits do demand theirs from the government!

Dreamers!!

God Bless ESN
God Bless MNK
God Bless IPOB

I can interpret what they meant in English.

We need ak47 and rocket launcher.

The yorubas keep killing themselves and then blame peaceful heardmen.

You yoruba people voted in Buhari with OSIBANJO for fulanis to deal with Igbos but today it has back fired.

U better join forces with the greater south to confront the common enemy

Yoruba must stand their ground and fight back.
Another thing is even if fulani herdsmen and bandits capture and successfully conquer the south west,it's not even as if they would develop it to any standard,they will just turn it into another South Sudan and somalia. This is a planned jihad,and bringing the natives into submission and slavery, south be warned.
