Suspected youths from Oforachi community in Idah LGA of Kogi State, have allegedly killed four herdsmen and dumped their bodies in the Ofu rivers.

It was gathered the attack was in response to the killing of 65-year-old Godwin Egbunu in his farm.

An eyewitness, Audu, who claimed that the incident happened last Friday, said that the farmer was attacked by some herdsmen who invaded his farm land and destroyed all the crops.

According to him, the farmer went to station where two policemen were asked to go with him to the farmland.

But on getting there, the suspected herdsmen attacked the latter, right in presence of the policemen and killed him.

Angered by the killing of the farmer, the youths killed four herdsmen in retaliation while the policemen said they could not stop the killing of the farmer because they were unarmed.

A resident said that of the community can no longer close their eyes but are keeping vigilance to forestall any retaliatory attacks.

Communities close to Oforachi, including Ogbogbo, Odolu, Akpanya, are said to be living in fear for fear of possible reprisal attack by the herdsmen.

The Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Williams Aya, in a statement confirmed the incident.

According to him: “On the 18th of this month (January 2020), at about 0700hrs, information was received from Oforachi, that unknown persons suspected to be herdsmen killed one Godwin Egbunu, aged 65, of same addressed, at his farm and as a result angry youths from the village began attacking any Fulani on sight.”

He said SUPOL stationed at Ajaka immediately mobilised his personnel to the scene and rescued two herdsmen from the mob but was seriously injured.

Aya, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, said that the injured herdsmen were rushed to Isah Hospital for treatment.

“Area Command Idah equally mobilised personnel from divisions under his command, while PMF SARS operatives reinforced the team on the ground.

“Normalcy have been restored. They took the photographs of the corpse and was taken to general hospital mortuary for autopsy as investigation continue,” he stated

He also said one Mohammed Arade, a Fulani, of Egabada village reported at the Ajaka police station that two of their men namely Abubakar Nahare, 65, and Hassan Natunku, 60, have not been seen since when the incident happened.

He said that a search party led by the Acting Area Commander, Idah, immediately swung into action, as the corpse of the two missing herdsmen were recovered from inside the Ofu River at Oforachi, with their hands tied into nine inches block.

He said that the photographs of the deceased was taken and their corpse taken to general hospital mortuary for autopsy, as investigation continues.

Amotekuns are coming to Kogi state

" policemen said they could not stop the killing of the farmer because they were unarmed. " is this a joke? It is a notorious fact that the Fulani herdsmen are always armed with dangerous weapons ranging from Dagger to automatic rifle, but the police went to supposedly confront Fulani herds men unarmed? Fully aware of their antecedent, they went unarmed?

But they would arm themselves to the teeth to storm a gathering of young adults whom they brand Yahoo boys. They would kit like they are going to war just to go and arrest a lawyer in Anambra state. Methinks they intentional stood guard while the now deceased complainant was being maimed. If they had done the needful, this wouldn't have degenerated to self help.

I regional police. Amotekun is a welcome development. The South East should reinvent Bakkasi. The South South should also put a security network in place. No section of this country has monopoly to violence.

Anyways, I don't know who needs this but if you are In need of CAC company registration, Business Name registration, Trustees, NGO, NAFDAC number on your products etc, talk to us at www. Lawlab. Com. ng
The interesting part is that consultation is free of charge. Yes! Free of charge.

The killed the latter in present of the police!! And the police said the were not arm.. Regional policing is the answers. The federal policing is in hand of Fulani's

Abeg o ah no wan criticise any how but is it normal for police to go ta a crime scene unarmed

It's now obvious that security agencies are corroborating with herdsmen and fulani herdsmen are above the law

The security agencies mostly the police are the problem we are facing and they will split this country the way they are behaving not professional at all.

Na wa o

Everybody is tired of herdsmen...

Who kills with the sword must surely be killed with one...

Over to Yeye Bello and the dullard.

AMOTEKUN

This issue of herdsmen is getting out of hands, maybe when another tribe apart from Fulani become president again. The issue will automatically die down. Rearing cattle is a business like every other businesses, their should guideline

Nawaoh bloodbath everywhere

Ebukaaaaaa
See as you table d matter as if you work on the farm!

Angered by the killing of the farmer, the youths killed four herdsmen in retaliation while the policemen said they could not stop the killing of the farmer because they were unarmed.

He who killed must be kill.
An eye for an eye is the way to go when it comes to senseless and evil killings.
Killer herdsmen sponsored by evil politicians, kidnappers, ritualists, fake drugs manufacturers (especially drugs for children) are all in the same category.
And they must all die painfully this way.
No peace for the wicked!

I trust the Kogite, no nonsense! Everyone na vigilante.

An eye for an eye, the Fulani herdsmen go get sense by force.

I think they have migrated to kogi since the invention of Amotekun.

Please I need answer
I was planing to study robotic engineering but I found Out that no university offer such course except mechatronics.
So I am wondering if I should go for mechatronics or computer engineering because I have not heard of it except on Google and Also I have not seen any body study it.
BTW I am planning go to futminab.

We will bless Kogi with Seven Amotekun...

Herdsmen everywhere

Kill them all. No one has monopoly of violence. Amotekunise them modafokas

violence is not meant for some certain tribe. some of us decided to live as humans.

we all can become animals

Amotekun is the answer.

I condemn the killings. Those people killed are innocent.

When the blood of an innocent being is on ones hands, trouble, curses would come.

It is just like saying, 50 Nigerians killed in south Africa in retaliatory attack to 2 south Africans killed in Nigeria.

Now innocent souls have been killed, more trouble in the land.


Those who perpetrated the act should be prosecuted alongside their sponsors, and not innocent civilian who are from other part of the country residing and doing business in the state.

Federal government will take this very serious since it's herdsmen that were killed

I've never heard MURIC comment on this herdsmen issue before...... Why is that?

Kogi state is calling me!!!!

And the killings continue, naija no dey safe anymore

Enemyofpeace:
Kill them all. No one has monopoly of violence. Amotekunise them modafokas

omotekun is for egg and indomie thief

When wicked people are allowed to rule the state, we get alot of this news.

The Fulani herdsmen will soon be endangered species.
It's gradually backfiring!

Elslim:
AMOTEKUN

amotekunise them
