At least four farmers were in the early hours of Tuesday ambushed and killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Ala Elefosan, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The farmers were on their way to farms when the armed herders attacked them at the popular Thirteen-Thirteen settlement.

Aggrieved residents disclosed this on Tuesday during a protest at Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s office in Akure, the state capital.

The latest killing came barely two weeks after five farmers were killed in Aba Oyinbo in the same LGA, forcing residents to storm the governor’s office with the corpses of the deceased in coffins.

Angered by the latest killings, the protesting residents, mostly youths, took the corpses of the slain farmers to the governor’s office in Alagbaka, demanding an end to the incessant attacks by the suspected marauders.

The protesters shut and barricaded the roundabout intersection that led to the governor’s office and the federal secretariat.

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the traditional ruler of the community, Taiwo Samuel, lamented the inability of the state government to curb attacks on farmers.

Mr Samuel asked the Mr Aiyedatiwa-led government to allow the residents to protect themselves against external attacks.

“Three farmers were killed in the Thirteen camp in the Ajagbusi area of Ala Elefosan in Akure North Local Council. They were on their way to the farm this morning when the Fulani herdsmen attacked them and shot them. One person was also killed two days ago.

“We purposely brought their bodies to Alagbaka for everyone to see what we are facing and to prevent any form of denial, which we have experienced in the past.

“The killing of our people by these herdsmen is becoming too much. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa promised us that the place would be fully secured after the last incident. With this latest development, the government must allow us to secure ourselves.

“It is disheartening that the government will continue to allow these killings to be going on. What we are certain about is that if we should defend ourselves and kill the attackers, we will be arrested and taken to Abuja,” he said.

The monarch decried how the security challenges in the state had worsened under Mr Aiyedatiwa’s government, stressing that enough and end must be put to the “senseless killings.”

A state police spokesman, Alayande Olayinka, confirmed the attack, saying the tactical teams had been deployed to the area to restore normalcy.

He also vowed that the perpetrators would soon be arrested and brought to book.

The state has witnessed disturbing kidnapping cases, with perpetrators demanding ransom.

Last month, Mr Aiyedatiwa assured that his administration was addressing the security breaches after meeting with security chiefs to curb insecurity.

On Monday, the socio-political group, Afenifere, expressed concerns over the incessant kidnapping and attacks by herders in the South-West, challenging National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu to collaborate with the state governors in mapping our strategies to end the security challenges.

Open grazing should be banned in Yorubaland.

Unfortunate! Nigeria ought to have banned open grazing.

Fulanis and Yorubas are one.
Taking this matter to the Governor is going too far. This thing can be settled applying the spirit of forgiveness.

Where are the cows?

Is Evans a herdsman?

The region called SW is already gone and the people that look for IGBO news to masturbate are AWOL.

The news won't make Frontpage because it's not IGBO land.

Some are allowed to wield weapon while the others are not to defend themselves.

Nlfpmod, what manner of wahala is this sef

Aiyedatiwa is super clueless. I feel like giving him hot slaps to reset his brain

Their backyard is burning but Yoruba Ronus are more interested in Obi, Obi, Obi.

Pathetic lots!

Go on Twitter as Igbos dragging Peter Mbah for killings in Enugu but this people never call out their underperforming leaders.

Shame!

I don't understand why the people of Ondo state voted for Aiyedatiwa and the APC in the governorship election. The guy is very clueless

Under Asiwaju Tinubu, the Fulani Terrorist killings, especially in the SW, have increased.

This is where we the the useless Edo Governor, but it's obvious we won't find him.

This country must divide some day.

Before the government denies it.

Fulanis kidnap people for millions in Ransom.

Take it to a king or community leader.

Maybe like 50 million

The community leader out of greed accepts.

They start iNvading bushes then feel entitled because when a case is reported it goes in their favour.

Now the next village is needed they do same and leave a trace in the previous village by killing. Now they raise millions by kidnapping and give the next village head maybe 50 to 100 million. He greedily accepts.

After sometime they kidnap to pay.

Now if the payment is monthly, do you think the village head will chase them away

That is why u need to see that your village head has taken bribe.

He wont want to stop his salary after all it is just few dead bodies at the expense of 100 million.
Dey play.


Only time village or community head talks os when it affects their family.

How will you tell the community you receive money from their killers monthly in millions.

You keep mute and keep taking the money and even if they stop taking it how will they have the mind.

So everyone it is possible your village king has sold you all but u dont know.

They take it forcefully.

Someone said Na Fulani hunters.

We are not ready in this country to end terrorism and insurgency

Wait o..
Can't they stop Fulani from entering other states?
Can't they implement this antiopen grazing law?

“It is disheartening that the government will continue to allow these killings to be going on. What we are certain about is that if we should defend ourselves and kill the attackers, we will be arrested and taken to Abuja,” he said.

Lobatan!!
The Uromi saga comes to mind
Fulani marauders are free to kill southern people in their own land without consequences but kill one of them and you see all the stupid politicians falling over themselves to appease the north

But Where's the cows? It terrible for farmers who worked hard to increase food supply chain had to be killed in their own farms ,this is pathetic but The greed of government officials beginning with Tpain to governors is the reason this illiterates group keeps killing citizens like chicken safeguard cows ,what a terrible situation

Yoruba and Fulani are one

Aboki kpai him lukumi brother,e no concern me

This herders killings is getting out of hand. They're everywhere around the country and the government of the day has refused to wakeup to its responsibilities.

able20:

Your tinibu is so sick right now and fighting for his life...

Self defence is not a crime therefore, you should defend yourself whenever you are in any danger.

They have been hunted!

Igbo business men are the problem we have in Yoruba land, we must chase them back to their village.
They are the enemies of the Yoruba.
Forget this Fulani killings, it a friendly fight, and any Yoruba person that can't defend him/herself has no business going to the farm.

Yoruba Ronu.

Ok nah..
But they were the 1st polling unit Submit Ballot boxes, Declare results and Announce Winner sharp, sharp!

Make I dey go my business.

The governor is just as terrible as his principal in Abuja.

I'm surprised he didn't denied the herdsmen attack this time

I still won't understand why the aggrieved youths can't waylay the marauders. It is your land. Intruders cannot overpower you and government will not issue a direct instruction for you to attack them.
