The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 30-Year-Old Man, Samuel Egbetokun for allegedly poisoning cows in the Alabata community of the Odeda Local Government Area of the State.

The command informed PUNCH Online on Friday that two out of the three cows that consumed the harmful substance died instantly before the cattle rearer could intervene.

The command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola stated that the suspect had laced cassava with rat poison and tossed it to the cows while they were grazing.

It was gathered that the cattle rearer, Boji Sanni, initially did not realise that the cassava thrown by the suspect had been laced with harmful substances until the three cows began collapsing after consuming it.

The command said, “The incident came to light on January 16, 2025, when a 54-Year-Old Man, Idris Lawal, of Akingbasa Village, complained to the local police station.

“His cattle rearer, Boji Sanni, caught a man throwing cassava mixed with a substance suspected to be rat poison to his cattle while grazing on January 15, 2025.

“The rearer reported that before realising the cassava was laced with poison, some cows had consumed it. Consequently, two female cows died, and a third is undergoing treatment. The value of the dead cows is estimated at ₦1,500,000.”

Detectives from the Odeda Division, tasked with conducting a preliminary investigation, combed the area and recovered the poisoned cassava, which was secured as evidence, according to the police.

The suspect then reportedly confessed to the crime following his arrest.

“The Commissioner of Police has taken a personal interest in the case, particularly due to concerns about potential retaliation from herders or cattle rearers. He is warning others to refrain from such actions, emphasising that this case will serve as a deterrent,” Odutola said.

This marks the second incident involving residents and cattle rearers in the LG within a week.

PUNCH Online previously reported an incident in Apitipiti Village, where a farmer allegedly attacked a herdsman and injured one of his cattle.

You are jabless.
You left ya mairuwa job for sharing bad news. Make I service ya oblongata.

and tossed it to the cows while they were grazing.

I can bet that this part is fabricated..
My own assumption is that the cow has been disturbing the farmer livelihood who now laced the planted cassava with poison

Police statement is just an account of the herdman, Can you allow the farmer to say his own side of the story. I believe he only poisoned his cassava leaves and cow went there as usual not that he gave cattle to eat

Throwing the poison to the cattle to eat is big wickedness, but eating the poison in your farm, while grazing your crops isn't a crime. The man did wrong and should be punished for the act of wickedness

Where are the cows?

this is evil,

The wickedness in the Land knows no bounds.
Even animals are no longer safe in the land.

So this is how SW has been fighting herdsmen... no wonder incidences of kidnapping has reduced.

Somebody say something before I say something people won't like.
