I am a living witness, I thank God for his divine protection.
I wish the state government could enact laws or enforce laws (if any) to curb
breach of peace by these desperate land grabbers.
Gov. Dapo Abiodun please do the needful, Egun people from time immemorial are peace loving.

Were you counting the bikes when they were shooting sporadically?

gunvi:
I think we need to remind this guy about history....
There is no way the story of Nigeria can be written and the eguns will not be mentioned. one thing in life is that there will always be migration of people from one place to another. The dark part of we blacks is that we don't luv ourselves and there can never be growth and development wit such....Let us forget about tribalism, sentiments and biasness and let us embrace oneness.

“When we called on the Police to come to our defense on the day of the invasion, they refused They said the hoodlums had superior weapons. They directed us to run for safety if we could not defend ourselves.

Grand pa Buhari has succesfully turned a once peaceful nation into a war zone. If na peaceful Ipobs, operation python go quickly come to the scene. But Boko Haram, Fulani Henchmen and all forms of bandits are enjoying free pass to commit their atrocities.

What are eguns doing in ogun state?

The Awori originally gave their lands to the Egun to settle down after the several civil wars of the 19th century, especially between Dahomey and Egba.

The Awori are friendly and accommodating, and the Egun are farmers, and just like the Awori. The land is big to accommodate all as at the time.

The Egun dwells at the frontiers of Ado, and visits "hogbonu" (Cotonu) from time to time. However, they have right to the place as much as the Yoruba legally, being Nigerians.

The last court injunction was that they should share the land equally, I heard this did not sit well with my egun folks.

They had enjoyed peaceful coexistence for centuries until the coming of the Olofin, when the land issue began.

This led to what we have in our hands now. May God help the community. The case was earlier in the court of law but they were asked to settle the issue amicably.

The two parties involved had good relationship, but a property merchant from somewhere orchestrated the Egun against the Awori for selfish interest.

I belonged to the two sides, the leader of Idoleyin na my uncle too. Meanwhile, part of the land was earlier given to Isolo by the court.

Ctorch:
The peace hitherto enjoyed by residents of Idoleyin community in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, was truncated weekend, following the invasion of the community by some land grabbers.

The presence of the armed invaders was announced by the unusual noise of over 40 motorcycles, followed by sporadic shootings that sent residents scampering in different directions for cover. Unfortunately, some of them were reportedly hit by bullets.

When Vanguard visited the community, its traditional leader, Chief Joshua Kuruyo, stated that the community had been under constant threat by the land grabbers. He, therefore, called on the Federal government, the State’s as well as the Police and other relevant security agencies to come to residents help before the situation would get out of hand.

Narrating how the land grabbers held sway penultimate day, Chief Kuruyo, said, “they came in 60 motorbikes with three persons on each, wielding guns, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons.

The village head who spoke in Yoruba, also lamented that the entire community had been living in fear since the incident which he alleged was orchestrated by some persons suspected to be from the Awori speaking part of the town.

On why the community was invaded, Kuruyo said that the Aworis had their eyes on their land adding that they want to forcefully take their land from them and sell.

He said: “We were home when some Awori people brought war to our domain. The motorbikes they came in were about sixty, with three persons on each, holding either a gun or cutlass.

“Three days before then, they had attempted to enter the community but we quickly alerted the Police and four Policemen were deployed to the community but the Police said they were confronted by the hoodlums.

“When we called on the Police to come to our defense on the day of the invasion, they refused They said the hoodlums had superior weapons. They directed us to run for safety if we could not defend ourselves.

“At the point of defenselessness, we started calling on the gods of the land to come to our defense.

“I have never seen a thing like that since I have been in this community They came from three different points of the community and edged us . We were trapped right inside our own community, without knowing what to do. Since we had no where to run to , we took our fate in our hands and decided to confront them.

“It was a messy situation because they shot and macheted our people The injured ones among us have been taken to the hospital.

“While the attack was on, the invaders started shouting that they were the ones being attacked, whereas it was a lie. They left after having a field day.

“Before they invaded our community, they first posted a notice within the community, ordering the Eguns to vacate their villages, claiming that the land belonged to them.

But the Aworis claimed that the Eguns were responsible for the attack. One of them who gave his name simply as Igbiam, said, “they are the ones occupying our land and at the same time attacking us. We had gone there for a peaceful talk when they attacked us”.

However, police sources denied telling the residents that the invaders’ weapons were more sophisticated. Rather, sources said that police teams were usually deplored to the community whenever they received distress calls.

Sources further informed that there had been a lingering cold war between factions of dwellers in the area.
