A woman, who was identified as Alhaja Morenikeji Salami, has been shot by some suspected Fulani herdsmen.<\/p>\n
She was waylaid while driving to her new work-site, around Idofe, Oru-Awa area of Ijebu North Local Government area of Ogun.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST reports that Salami had her thumb cut off by a bullet said to have been fire by the herdsmen.<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s jaw was also pierced by the suspects who emerged from the bush while grazing their cows.<\/p>\n
In a viral video on Saturday, the woman was seen in severe pains as she was being treated at the hospital.<\/p>\n
According to a female voice accompanying the video, Salami drove into the herdsmen numbering about eight and she was shot while trying to reverse.<\/p>\n
At first, her tyres were shot to prevent her from escaping, after which she was shot two times.<\/p>\n
It was said the woman was left alone after she pretended to have died, as the herdmen went back into the bush.<\/p>\n
My mother said she managed to get down from the car after waiting for the herdsmen to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter she managed to alight from the car, she saw a tipper lorry and flagged it down. The driver rescued her and took her to Oru,\u201d a daughter of the woman said.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST gathered that the victim was rejected at the general hospital and at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OSUTH) for lack of space.<\/p>\n
The Ogun State Police Spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi has confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n
Oyeyemi said three of the herdsmen were arrested at night after they returned to take away the cattle they left behind.<\/p>\n
He disclosed that the arrested suspects have been transferred to the state police headquarters, Eleweran.<\/p>\n
