Suspected herdsmen have attacked Eda, one of the communities in Iyemero town, in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State.

Invading the town in the wee hours of Monday, they killed two people and inflicted various degrees of injury on three others.

Residents identified one of the dead as Danjuma Ali, a Muslim farmer, while the identity of the second person whose body had been deposited in the morgue of the General hospital, Ikole Ekiti, was still unknown as of the time of filing this report.

The victims currently receiving treatement at the emergency section of the Federal Teaching Hospital (FETHI), Ido Ekiti, are Jennifer Akoko, Joseph Achebe and one other victim.

"Some herders called Bororo stormed the farmstead and shot these innocent people," one resident said.

“They came around 1am and were there till dawn. Our farmers are all afraid to go their farmsteads. They all rushed to the palace of Oba Ebenezer Agboola Ogungbemi, the Olu of Iyemero Ekiti, to take refuge.

The Olu of Iyemero, Oba Ogungbemi and Olu-In-Council, restated their calls for establishment of a police station in the town to curb the attackers.

“These Fulani herders stormed the community through the border of Iyemero at Eruku in kwara state," the monarch said Chief Ariyo Abejide, his spokesman. "This makes Iyemero a porous exit and entrance, which portends dangers and insecurity to the community, ikole local government and the state in general."

Ekiti People Wanted it

When Fayose was shouting and raising an alarm about dangers of having APC in Ekiti state and electing Buhari as the president, Tinibu and his nairaland dogs were busy pouring abuses on him.

All those igbos above rejoicing over senseless killings of people should be ashamed of themselves. Herdsmen raid Enugu and Abia state but they will rather focus on other people's predicament. The federal government has failed all Nigerians, this is not about having APC or PDP in any state.

Something not quite right about the report.

The reported killed are one Achebe and a Danjuma.

An injured person is a female by name Akoko which doesn't quite rhyme as Yoruba.

Sahara Reporters should do better verification.

Fayose you better call your people to order!

Nigerians should sit tight and expect the the worst. Second term hasn't started yet in case if we have forgotten .
When Buhari said that his second term is going to be very brutal, some zombies have refused to dwell on that statement and understand the meaning, rather they keep shouting "Saï baber "
May those who trained this Ask Rock snake be consumed by the same snake they trained .. If these victims rejected "Next level", May God accept their souls.
May God keep protecting every Nigerian that rejected this snake in 2015 and 2019.
I heard that Fayemi wants to show appreciation to Buhari by giving out lands to herdsmen for his a job well done during Ekiti Guber election.
