No fewer than five villages were reportedly sacked in Ondo State on Sunday following an alleged invasion by some Fulani herdsmen.

The affected communities are Adejubu, Adewole, Olotin, Olondan and Jojo, all in the Akure North Local Government Area of the state.

According to a source, the herdsmen allegedly invaded the villages on reprisal as the residents of the affected communities had chased them away from grazing on their farmlands.

The source said, “The Fulani herdsmen usually destroy the farms of the villagers whenever their cows are grazing. So, last week, the herdsmen came again to graze and the villagers chased them away.

“On Sunday night, the herdsmen came in large numbers and burnt down houses in the villages. The residents of the villages had to run away for their lives or risk being killed.”

The source added that there was no life lost in the attack, but many buildings were allegedly destroyed by the herdsmen.

The head of one of the communities, Mr Adegoroye Oro, expressed displeasure at the activities of Fulani herders in the area, saying the indigenes had lost their farm crops to the herdsmen, who usually invade their farmlands in the night and allow their cows to graze on the crops.

It was gathered that men of the state police command and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps had been deployed in the area to forestall a further breakdown of law and order.


When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro, said he had not been briefed about the incident.

“I am not aware of the incident; I will have to contact the DPO of the division and I will get back to you as soon as I get a brief from the area,” Ikoro told our correspondent.

However, he had yet to get back to our correspondent as of the time of filing this report despite several calls to his mobile telephone.

His counterpart in the state command of the NSCDC, Mr Ayodeji Olufemi, however, said the corps’ personnel could not find any burnt house in the villages.

“When we got the information about the attack, our men moved there immediately but the report they brought was that there were no traces of burnt buildings and also the residents, who raised the alarm and the alleged Fulani herdsmen were not found in the villages,” he stated.

No no no that's cowardice.

If the brave man is defeated in internal crises, then when external crises comes what will happen. The brave will be humiliated.

Alleged invasion, Alleged houses burnt, Alleged farms destroyed, Alleged herds men disappeared........

don't get it twisted man. The villagers fisrt chased the herdsman away. Wait and see what happen next after they retreat. It's just a season film that has no ending.

Fulani jihadist herdsmen no dey do stay at home.

Afonjas are just making noise with Amotekun, trying to drag the South East in, withdraw the Amotekun and then condemn the East for standing their ground thereby making them look bad with Lagos Ibadan Media.


But they already know Yoruba nature.

Until Amotekun start arresting herdsmen before I'll take them serious.

Yoruba people and media made IPOB look bad.

People like Seyi Law have never ever condemned Fulani jihadist herdsmen killing thousands Nigerians
