Herdsmen kill three farmers in Edo, set farmlands worth N600m ablaze

Three farmers have reportedly been killed by suspected herders at the small town of Ugo in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State while farm produces worth almost N600 million were also destroyed and set ablaze.

A farmer, Mr Michael Eghaghe alleged that the Fulani cattle rearers used their cattle to graze the farmlands where thousands of plantain, pineapple, cocoa, cassava and mature cocoa trees are grown, adding that they also slashed and set the farmlands ablaze.

Eghaghe who spoke in Benin yesterday said that the herders have been grazing on his farm since 2017, just as he added that the farm measured 64 hectares.


He said that he started taking proper records of the destruction of his farm way back in 2018 as the herders set the farm ablaze.

They placed thousands of cattle in my cassava farm and uprooted the crops for cow feed. They also cut down the plantain, feeding their livestock with the stem. The here’s suck the water during the dry season and also serve as medicine.”

He continued: “While some of the crops were set ablaze, uprooted, slashed and cut down by the herders, four big water tanks, two weed spraying pump machines and the keys to the farmhouse were also destroyed and some of my workers were assaulted with different degrees of body injuries.”

He disclosed that he was kidnapped by the killer herdsmen in his farm and a ransom of N1 million paid for his release, noting that he has written several petitions to President Muhammadu Buhari; Attorney-General of the Federation; the IGP; Edo State Governor; Director, DSS; the Commandant of 4 Brigade; the Commissioner of Police, Edo State; Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Edo State, to draw their attention to the illegal activities of the herders.

While appealing to well-meaning Nigerians to come to his aid, the farmer said that he is highly frustrated by the activities herders.

If somtin like this happens in Oyo,ogun or benue they will say things like dem no fit try am for my area,,but if im happen for dem area dem go kip quite dey call on buhari or southern unity.

Action is what Fulani's understand not ultimatum or dialogue.

They all deserved to be punished according to the law

Make una put sniper for the crops na. Let the cows eat them and live to see the next day.


Nonsense

This is here to stay, I guess

Edo no be Lagos

Nnn mehnnn..this is so unsophisticated

BH has brought Zabamari to the south. Buhari will favour tagging them as bandits or mere criminals to avoid soiling his imaginary scorecard.

Hmm

They should keep keeping mute. I have said, attacking and killing these bastard fulanis is the only solution.

those bastards also burnt my father's farm
nah Ogun go keel Buhari and all Herdsmen sympathizers

Sometimes I admire the defiance of this herdsmen. They don't care about your feelings, or your ultimatums or your livelihood, or your displeasure. They just fvck you up and go.

Those herdsmen would have been paid 100k each for any Cow they lost if they were in Abia state
