NEWS: Ogun villagers flee community over fear of herdsmen attack


Residents of Olokemeji-Olowo in Odede Local Government Area of Ogun State have fled their community over fear of being attacked by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

DAILY POST recalls that the lawmaker representing Odeda State Constituency at the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide on Monday cried out over the killing of one of his constituents by suspected herdsmen.

Our correspondent gathered that trouble started last weekend when the village vigilantes captured a suspected kidnapper and held him down.

The suspect, Fulani was said to have pleaded that he be allowed to contact his leaders on phone.

After the call, his leaders reportedly stormed the village and shot dead one vigilante, while rescuing their errand boy.

Exasperated, the villagers had applied some harmful substances on their farms, and this led to the death of many cows belonging to the Fulanis.

As they envisaged possible attack from the herdsmen, the villagers have deserted their homes in Olokemeji-Olowo, a border town between Ogun and Oyo States.

The Fulani's are unrepentant and very revengeful tribe. Reminds me of a time when warriors were chased away from the town only for the enemies to attack.

Everybody hear this loud and clear, fulanis and BMCs are the ones making tribal comments on nairaland.

Everyday, i checked gossipmill, tunde ednut's page, pulse Niger, instablog9ja and other pages on IG and I'll assure you that no yoruba is laughing at MNK the way it's done on Nairaland.

No igbo is laughing at chief Sunday ighoho the way BMCs made us believe here.

Let's unite as southerners and fight our common enemy.

THE ENEMY IS ALREADY AT THE GATE

Yoruba ronu
Jagaban said yoruba and fulani are one so who are we to say otherwise.

Title of the movie "living in fear".

Blackman and domination.. well the European nearly exterminated themselves for same cause...

If you are Yoruba and you are keeping quiet about this then you are CURSED. If you are still claiming that ALL is WELL then you are cursed. Yorubas we better wake up from our sleep before our enemies turn our land to a wasteland.
