May their souls Rest In Peace. No government will be happy with this kind of development.<br \/>\n\ufffc<br \/>\n\u201cBut you have to be prepared. These herdsmen are becoming too problematic. We are not sleeping. You can see Police and Amotekun here. With this one they have done, we will ensure that it is their last evil act here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose behind this are criminals. Those supporting them are all criminals too. Anyone who commits crime will answer for it. The Police and Amotekun with other security agencies will set out and bring them to justice. We will treat them like criminals.<br \/>\n\ufffc<br \/>\n\u201cBoth the Police and Amotekun have briefed me that they were being shot at. But for their boldness and courage, the criminals would have overwhelmed them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to assure you, don\u2019t be scared. We are still on their track. They ran to Edo now. But for the houses that were razed, government will bring relief material. We will rebuild the ones that were razed completely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the Akarigbo of Ute Land, Chief Felix Olabode, narrated how the ugly incident happened.<br \/>\n\ufffc<br \/>\nHe said:\u201dI was home when we heard that some gunmen came and killed people here. We came here immediately and we met a dead body. These buildings have not been razed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we alerted the Police, the DPO came and we didn\u2019t know that those people were still around. Not less than 30 minutes after the Police evacuated the dead bodies, the gunmen came back and razed these buildings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey always use guns to scare people away here and then brought their cows to graze on people\u2019s farm and drink water. When they are leaving too, they also use guns to scare people away and leave. We have seen the level of damage here. People have left here. We are begging the government to come to our rescue.\u201d<br \/>\n\ufffc<br \/>\nCoordinator of the Oodua People\u2019s Congress (OPC) in the area, Folorunso Olofe, disclosed that the gunmen were always attacking with AK 47.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been happening for long. They are always coming with AK 47, they were more than 50. One Amotekun officer was hit with a bullet during the attack. They came and killed the Baale. Police came and evacuated the dead bodies and not up to 15 minutes, they came back and razed this place.\u201d He said.<br \/>\n\ufffc<br \/>\nAccording to the villagers, the gunmen attacked the community following the refusal of the residents to allow the herdsmen to graze on their farms.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), on Sunday, visited Omolege Junction near Ute in Ose Local Government Area of the state, where gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen killed&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84123,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
