An Inspector of Police, Omolayo Olajide, has lost his life during a gun duel between the police and bandits.

Two of the bandits were also killed in the gun duel.

Upon the distress call, Oyeyemi disclosed that the DPO of Ayetoro, CSP Bernard Ediogboyan, immediately led his men and operatives of the t security Intervention squad (JSIS) to the scene.

“On sighting the policemen, the bandits opened fire on them and the policemen returned ‘fire-for-fire’.

“At the end of the encounter which lasted for about twenty minutes, two amongst the bandits were shot dead while others escaped with varying degrees of gunshot injuries. Regrettably, an inspector of police, by name, Omolayo Olajide lost his life during the gun duel,” Oyeyemi explained.

Wild wild west

: Yorubas and fulanis are one ..

Where are the cows ?

If they will be truthful to give as their names you will find out those they killed and called bandits are Yorubas who have gone to chase Fulanis destroying their farms.

See the speed they used to protect the Fulanis before it happened. Yoruba you see your life?
Yeubaa is now the bandits and the Fulanis are the victims of Bandits in Yoruba land.

You see why treachery is not good my Yoruba people.
God Bless MNK
God bless Igboho

The bandit should occupie the forest no problem, we local Yoruba Muslims and fulani bandits are one people, the bandits have brought us the peace in our religion Islam

are you guys seeing what's happening? When Fulani herdsmen terrorist kills and raid a village or town, the police would be called but they won't respond or do anything about it. But here is a case where the villages decided to get into the forest and finish off the Fulani terrorist then the police swang into action and went to the forest to fight and kill the villagers who were hunting the terrorist.

Oduduwa republic and Biafra republic is the best thing that can happen to the Eastern and Western region.

Don't wait until they surround u and start taking over your territories.

Referendum noww

The F*ck.

So it’s actually police going after people tryin to go after the Fulani terrorists?

Ok

RIP to the policeman and Rot in hell for the 2 killed Fulani terrorist.

It’s nice that the police sprung into action almost immediately.

Who said they were Fulani? It seems you did not read the article properly?

Truth is this if north plan to hand over power to south they won't be this bold ...it's just common sense ...this people plan to retain power and Igbos would gladly help them

YORUBANDITS doing what they do best

You will not see all these Tinubu urchins in threads like this to show concern about the calamity in their region.

They would be fixated on posts about IPOB, meth and Peter Obi.

Ndi ala!

Where are the cows?

Westin Yoruba Muslims no go suffer because of tilumbu

I just assume any bandit is Fulani terrorists but now I read the article now to see that the police were after those trying to defend the land.

This is maddening.

RIP to the dead. It's just sad that government don't rate our police officers

Damnnn it

So,zoo police was protecting the herdsmen but d day herdsmen will attack the natives,you no go see any police
Well,yoruba and fulani are one

This is serious.

Bandits... Buhari's people Dr Obadiah's warning comes to mind, Fulanis want to wage war against the South in 2022, and buhari will use the war situation to remain in power beyond 2023 because you can't conduct elections during war time.

Only wild animals live in forests.

All these agbero bandits from Lagos causing nuisance in ogun.

If only they put up such speedy response when bandits attack the indigenous people of the land.

Are they Forest guards for Ogun state?
