Suspected Fulani herdsmen in the early hours of Monday October 5th reportedly overran the farm of the former secretary to the government, Olu Falae at his village in Ilado, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State. This comes few weeks after the herdsmen allegedly kidnapped him from his farm and only released him 4 days after a ransom was paid.
Falae had complained that the herdsmen were always intruding into his farm with their grazing cows, destroying his farm products.
The Farm Manager, Bruno Akhigbodemen, alleged that over one kilometre plantation of maize was destroyed by the grazing cows on Monday. He said one of the farm workers who saw the herdsmen, raised an alarm but before other workers could come around, the invaders had left with their herds.
He said Olu Falae on hearing about the new development, contacted the state police command to lay a complain. Some police officers were immediately deployed to the farm land.
