Suspected herdsmen tie Oyo farmer to tree, kill him with machete

Olufemi Olaniyi
SUSPECTED Fulani herdsmen have attacked a village in Saki in the Saki West Local Government Area of Oyo State where a young man was reportedly hacked to death.

It was gathered that the farmer who was simply identified as Kola was tied to a tree at a village called Oke Orogun and was attacked with a cutlass.

The incident reportedly happened in the early hours of Sunday. While some residents claimed the farmer had died, one of them told our correspondent that Kola was rescued alive and was still alive as at Monday, but his condition was very critical.


The news of the attack was said to have angered some youths in Saki, who invaded a Fulani settlement and set some of the huts on fire.

Residents of the Gaa were said to have fled on sighting the angry youths coming towards their huts.

One of the sources who spoke with our correspondent in Ibadan on Monday said the killing of the Yoruba man and the attack on the Gaa had led to panic among the people of the town.


The source said, “I don’t know the real cause of the problem and who was behind the attack. There have been conflicting reports from people who claimed to have gone there. But it is true that some persons suspected to be Bororo herdsmen tied one man, Kola, to a tree in the village and attacked him with cutlass.

“Although the man did not die there as at the time he was rescued, his condition is very critical. He was taken to hospital where he was being tested but I have not heard any latest development from him today.”

‌

Speaking on the matter, the Coordinator of the Odua People’s Congress in Oyo State, Mr Rotimi Olumo, also confirmed the incident to our correspondent on the telephone.

He said, “One person was said to have been killed on Sunday by herdsmen and somebody was killed before that time.”

The Director of Media of the Okere Palace, Mr Akeem Olabisi, said the Okere of Sakiland, Oba Khalid Olabisi, has been making efforts to calm the people of the town down so that the incident would not lead to a more serious crisis.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Mr Olugenga Fadeyi, did not pick the call placed across to his telephone by our correspondent on the matter.

He had yet to also reply the message sent to him on the same matter as of the time of filing this report.

Topmaike007:
Make una rest jare...

No we don't want them to rest...cause if they do our people will become refugees in Cameroon like some people already are in Benin Republic.

AdakaBoro8:
hausa hate igbo... yoruba reject igbo... fulani dont want to hear una name sef... ijaw dont like u again... benin reject u... akwacross ur only brothers reject u.. ikwere and anioma

oh no. igbo, what cursed tribe..

Yet Igbos are prospering all over Nigeria, if hate could add more money to our ethnic account balance, then maybe Igbos should have given a fucck about the useless hate. But everybody hates Ijaws because you're abominable subhumans full of cultism, prostitutes, militancy, oil bunkering, lack of human resources, polluted lands and rivers, warlords and dumb apes with no historical significance. That's why we (the WAZOBIA), the other Nigerians, foreigners, Shell BP, Chevron etc all in that order collectively come together as a global porn corporation to ruthlessly fucck you from all sides, take all your resources to form oil blocks and wells, develop our major cities and towns... and then dump our semen (out waste products) for your people to inhale and feast on a your derivatives.

AdakaBoro8:
you should be among the people to carry that referendum to ijaw land oo.. because i can see you and cownu want to send your senseless igbo youth to come and die for ijaw land again... because thats what cownu money ritual is made up of.. the more igbo youth die, the more he get money..

Lol this useless Ijaw barracuda looking product of environmental pollution and low human capital, I knew you will be in this thread and you didn't disappoint. Nobody wants you deviants...definitely not Igbos, and least of all NOT your Niger Deltan neighbors either... so stop flaunting your dry hungry self around like some neglected prostitute looking for the highest customer . The Biafra every Igbo person is pandering to is strictly just for the Igbo nation, and we will only look to trade with our more useful AkwaCross( Efik and Ibibio) neighbors who have viable seaports etc... and other willing partners in the South South except the inconsequential and useless Ijaws of course! so stop looking for attention where nobody cares to give you one.

Obamaofusa:
Use your head,man.They are playing politics against Dapo.Refugee camps are not things that the govt of Benin Republic will not know about and document.The only poo people that went back to their origin are the Eguns etc who originally came from Benin Republic.Yewa is like a border village between Ogun and Benin.One can even trek the distance.Some have houses both in Yewa and Benin so there is no refugee camp.They are playing politics to paint Dapo govt bad.Dapo is proving to be a scam sha.

Stop grandstanding and denying your own people just to avoid the embarrassments of them been rightfully tagged as refugees. All those refugees are yorubas who fled their homelands, if you're not from any of those affected communities, then it will be insensitive of you to misrepresent their plights with lies because of your bloated ego.

OreMI22:
The same farm.

You may be right, the terrain in this video matches the one from the ESN video, which would suggest ESN were alerted and swooped in to do the needful.

Madmohamed1:
they should be more brutall to send a strong massage

Those slain cows are free Suya for the boys, I bet they slice up those cows behind the scenes to feast on after clearing the Fulani terrorists.

castrogee:
I'm beginning to suspect that all these esn videos are mere propaganda.

Why is it that anytime they do their so called "combing", we only get to see just one dead cow. We all know that the Fulanis' herd cows in their numbers and they go in groups of three to four herders. However, in all esn videos it's just one cow and nothing more.

So you want them to start posting uncensored pictures of dead Fulani herdsmen? ESN barely even post videos of their activities so we would never know the true extent of their operations! meanwhile your Miyetti Allah recently accused them of killing about 21 herdsmen in Anambra state... so surely there must be more dead Fulani terrorist elements that have been covertly sent to meet their 72 virgins than we know.

kingsavage:
yeah.. worthless criminals and rejected people

Says the bastard with a contaminated DNA whose olosho mother played countless away matches to birth a humongous pile of human filth like your unfortunate self

georgeakins:
Igbo are terrible people. See them defending him. It is the same set of people who will criticise Otedola or Dangote who never worked for any organisation, be it govt or private.

When you are doing well and you are not from their tribes, they will always say negative things about you. But if you are a crook from their tribe, you are seen as a hero.
An Igbo priest told me one day how much he hated Dangote just because he felt Innonson was supposed to be richer than Dangote if govt had patronised him
It is the same people who laid the foundation for all the woes Nigeria is facing today in Jan 1965 coup

The premise of your brainless crap is befuddling and egregiously stupid. Emefiele last time I checked is an Ika man from Delta state, and he comes from a part where Igbo denial is most profound among the people... so why not direct your bullsh*t to Ika people? what's the business of Igbos with Emefiele you piece of sh*t?

kingsavage:
I hate those people

The feeling of hate is very mutual you worthless inconsequential pig

I don't personally subscribe to the killings of those cows, except they want to use them for Suya, just chase away the trespassing herdsmen and seize their cows!

His name was Ishola Oyenusi, a yoruba man.

Ishola Oyenusi: The rise & fall of the most dangerous armed robber in Nigeria's history
Video ArchiveThu, 24 Sep 2020Source: Naija Loaded
Nigeria has had its fair share of daredevil armed robbers who both stole money and headlines.

After Ishola, the likes of Anini, Shina Rambo etc whom readily come to mind as Nigeria’s most famous armed robbers.

In the 60s & early 70s, Dr. Ishola was terror personified as far as armed robbery is concerned. Eventually became Nigeria first celebrated Armed Robber.

He was known as Ishola Oyenusi (or notoriously known as Dr Oyenusi). Ishola Oyenusi was a real terror.

In the crime books, Dr. Ishola Oyenusi’s full range of crimes included snatching cars, robbing banks, factories, stores and killing people like chickens.

Doctor Oyenusi, as he was fondly called, was not a medical doctor by profession, neither was he an academic doctor. He only adopted the title ‘DOCTOR’ for the fun of it. The evidence of this lies in the confession he made few minutes before he was executed.

Ishola confessed that his parents were not capable of furthering his secondary school education and that was what forced him into robbery.

So without having a secondary school education, Dr Ishola Oyenusi could not have been a medical or academic doctor.

Ishola Oyenusi’s Life

Ishola Oyenusi is from Oyo State, Nigeria. Other part of his background are really sketchy. But what is established is that, Ishola Oyenusi is from a poor family

This was the reason why his parents couldn’t afford his secondary school education, which led to Ishola dropping out of Secondary School.

This was also the ultimate reason Ishola gave as to what led him into a life of armed robbery and crime.



Ishola Oyenusi started his robbery career as early as far back as 1959.

But, Ishola Oyenusi sprang out of the wreckage of the 1967-1970 Nigerian Civil War.

He was a charismatic, cocksure gangster whose lordly disdain for the law cast the terrifying portent of social breakdown.

Ishola Oyenusi - The romantic armed robber

His first noted criminal act would be an act of love. His girlfriend needed some money badly so Oyenusi went ahead to snatch a car.

He killed the owner of the vehicle. He got N400 from stealing the car and gave it to his girlfriend.



The reason why he was sometimes said to be a romantic armed robber.

Oyenusi was also hot-tempered and arrogant. During his arrest, he thundered down on a police officer who was ushering him around.

He said, “People like you don’t talk to me like that when I’m armed, I gun them down!”

Ishola Oyenusi’s reign of terror


Ishola Oyenusi came into limelight after the Nigerian civil war ended in 1970.

Oyenusi was so infamous that he was regarded by some people as the “first celebrated armed robber in Nigeria“, and after him was Lawrence Anini.

Babatunde Folorunsho (Baba oni lace), Shina Rambo, Buraimo Jimoh and others.

Dr. Oyenusi robbed banks and people in both daylight and night, and he never let any of his victims live to see another day, he killed them all!

This earned him the name “Doctor rob and kill". Dr. No Mercy etc



At the height of his horrific reign, Dr. Oyenusi bragged that “the bullet has no power“.

He probably forgot that he who live by the sword will surely die by the sword.

How Oyenusi was arrested

However, nothing lasts forever, and as the adage says, every day belongs to the thief while a day belongs to the owner.

On 27th of March, 1971, Oyenusi was nabbed by the police during one of his robbery operations on a WAHUM factory in which he and his notorious gang killed a police constable named Mr. Nwi and stole $28,000 as at then.


Cloud of shame hovered above Doctor Ishola Oyenusi as he was casted before the law and found guilty then sentenced to death by firing squad.

Dr Oyenusi then confessed that he would not die alone because he did not commit the crimes alone.

He then gave out the names of other members of the gang, which were; Joseph Osamedike, Ambrose Nwokobia, Joel Amamieye, Philip Ogbolumain, Ademola Adegbitan, and Stephen Ndubuokwu.

During those days, a death sentence was followed by public execution by a firing squad at the Lagos Bar Beach. It was a regular occurrence in Lagos.

People will come out in their thousands to watch soldiers publicly execute criminals.

The venue of Oyenusi and gang execution

By 10am, trucks carrying Oyenusi and his executors arrived at the execution ground. Dr. Oyenusi, his gang members and one other criminal got down slowly.

People jeered and booed them, especially Oyenusi who they had really trooped out to watch die.

Oyenusi donned a dark long-sleeve shirt and had his hands tied behind him. He was sweating profusely but managed to smile all the way to the stakes.



He kept smiling, smiling and smiling but could still not hide the agony and terror written boldly on his face”.


Few minutes before he was shot, Oyenusi told journalists that he would not have ventured into armed robbery if his parents were capable of sending him to secondary school.

He also said “I am dying for the offense I have committed". Oyenusi then warned others against following his life of crime. According to him “Crime does not pay in the long run”.

On the day of Dr Oyenusi’s execution, it was reported that 30,000 Nigerians showed up to see his end.

They were happily and excitedly waiting to see the man who had terrorized them get riddled by hot bullets.

Dr. Ishola Oyenusi and other criminals were fastened to their various stakes.

The soldiers lined in front of them and aimed their ever-ready guns. Some of the criminals yelled their last words of protest at the cameras.

If you ever wondered why the Igbo man was envied back in the era of pre and post independent Nigeria that engendered the infamous fears of "Igbo domination" across all the regions in Nigeria... look no further than the sheer display of fearlessness, intelligence, and confidence of a 16 yr old Boniface Offorkaja who stood out among his peers in that entertaining debate... it all makes sense now why Ahmade Bello unreservedly expressed his deep hatred and paranoia about Igbos in that popular interview he granted to the British journalist...thanks for this video.

NEWSOver 20 Fulani herdsmen killed in Amambra – Miyetti Allah

No fewer than 20 herders have been killed in different attack on Fulani in Anambra alone from January to March, 2021.

The latest attack happened at a Fulani settlement in Ogborji, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State with four persons killed.

Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), South-East Zone, said many cows were stolen in the attack which happened on Saturday.
Siddiki, who was visibly pained, said the latest attack on his people took place at Mohammed Idris Herders’ Settlement on Saturday, Daily Trust reports.

“One of the escaped herders called me and told me that some unknown gunmen in a Hilux vehicle with red cap invaded Mohammed Idris Herders’ Settlement shooting sporadically and that led to the deaths of our four members and hundreds of Cows missing,” he said.



He gave the names of the recent the victims as; Hadari Umaru, Hamidu Umaru, Aliu Idris and Hassan Idris.

He also disclosed that two herders were also killed in a similar manner in Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, last week, while many have been killed this year alone.

He stated, “The Fulani people in the South-East are not violent and we are not here to undermine the business of the people of the area. So, I am surprised why my people have been killed unjustly like that.
“We have experienced a lot of challenges in the region including the death of our members, despite our quick response whenever issue of compensation arises. I am constrained to say this publicly, because I can no longer hold the pains anymore.

“My people have begin to think I have been compromised… while keeping wait over various killing of herders in the zone. They have accused me of not saying anything about their killing in the zone.

“My worries now is that time will come when they cannot listen to me again, then it would be very difficult to control and manage them. There is no issue of farmland damaged by our people that we did not pay,” Sidikki lamented.

Refugee how far

Ezeama400:
It is tales of woe from farmers across Ondo State following the activities of herdsmen who have not only destroyed their sources of livelihood by their incessant attacks on their farmlands but also annoyingly raped their wives and daughters in their presence.


They lamented that they have consistently been victims of herders for the past five years, precisely since 2016.

The farmers from across the three senatorial districts of the state, almost in tears, narrated their nightmares to Sunday Vanguard.

Some of them claimed to have taken loans to put together their farms, saying everything went down the drains, no thanks to the rampaging activities of herders.

The Vice Chairman of the Ondo State Agricultural Commodities Association (OSACA), the umbrella body for farmers engaged in agricultural commodities in the state, Evans Shado, whose farm is located in lpe-Akoko, Ondo North, narrated, “My problem with herdsmen started in 2016. One day I received a call that my farm at Ipe-Akoko was under attack.


Loan

“I rushed down there and saw that everything was gone.

“But two of the herders who did it were later apprehended and taken to the police station.

“The attackers actually destroyed my 10 hectares oil palm field. The same thing was done to my farm when it was razed in 2018.

“In 2019, the association I belong to had a rice farm at Uso in Owo Local Government Area.

“I was the supervisor. We took a loan of about N10 million from the Federal Government. When it was time to harvest, these intruders came to destroy everything.

“We reported to government officials including the SSA to the Governor on Security, Alhaji Dojumo, and the Chairman of Miyetti Allah in the state, Alhaji Bello.

“The cows were arrested but they were later released while two of the herders who were apprehended are still in custody.


“The case is ongoing since 2019.

“With everything destroyed, the bank has been on our neck for us to pay back the loan. We took insurance people, CBN officials and everybody there to see things for themselves but they’re still asking us to pay back.

“But if such had happened in the North, I’m sure they would have reimbursed affected farmers to go back to enable them continue in business”.


In 2020, after they had put the sad incident of 2019 behind them, Shado said some of them went back to farm by borrowing more than N3 million.

“This time I farmed six hectares of rice. I was expecting millions of naira from the job I did. But when harvest time came, these people came again. They destroyed everything. We reported the case to Amotekun and they came and helped us. “They apprehended some of the attackers but only a meager amount was given to our group because we are so many.


“They gave us N1 million. How will that amount assist us on a farm we had spent millions of naira on?

“Just before January this year, my farm was attacked again. They uprooted all my cassava for their cows. On January 2, I took Amotekun operatives to my farm again. “Before you can go to the farm in my community in Ipe-Akoko, you’ve to go in the company of six to ten people because one might not come back alive if you decided to go alone.


“Formerly, I’m a disappointed, discouraged and an undeterred farmer but, now, I’m for revolution because, last year, I went to the SSA and told him I wanted to be a terrorist because only terrorists and bandits are respected in our nation.

READ ALSO: Cow and blood democracy
“People respect terrorists more than innocent and law abiding citizens. They’ve destroyed this nation.

“I’ve three children in the university. Where do they want me to get money to educate my children who will be looking at me that I call myself a farmer and suffering while others are enjoying.


“So we are at war in this country. It is no longer peace, it is revolution. Revolution is spontaneous and I know it’ll start one day. “I’m a pastor but this time around, it is the prayers of the brethren that are sustaining me because I can do and undo. If you talk you will die, if you don’t talk you will die. “They have killed me while still living”.

Issues

Also speaking with Sunday Vanguard, Chief Ogah Michael, a native of Benue State who has his farm in Ore, Ondo South, said farmers in the area had been having issues with herdsmen for about four years now.


“At Ore, I’ve a farm in the forest where I cultivate a lot of cassava, pepper and maize but herders and their cattle have been disturbing on the farm”, Michael said.

“There was a certain period I reported them to the police and their head in the area known as ‘Seriki’ was invited where we all went to see the level of destruction on the farm.

“After the inspection, they told me that if I could catch at least one herder or a cow, the culprit will be made to pay for the damages but if I’m unable to catch any, there’s nothing they could do.


“But there was a time that a cow was caught with the aid of the police and little compensation was paid.

“But the compensation ended same day at the police station because of the demands of policemen.

“There was also a time that we were able to arrest one herder but on the way coming we had an accident and we were taken to hospital.

“Later the Fulani came and accused us of kidnapping their son

imagine Fulani banging your wife or daughter right before you with their uncircumcised gbolas... that's worse than death itself.
