SUSPECTED herders have allegedly attacked two persons with machete at troubled Igangan in Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State.
\nAccording to Mr. Taiwo Adeagbo, a resident, the herders attacked the two persons in their village around 1a.m yesterday.
\nAs a result, youths of the community had been on guard because they envisaged the herders could come back.
\nWhen explaining further, he said one of the victims had machete cuts on the head while the second one had injuries on his right leg.
\nAdeagbo said, \u201cSuspected herders invaded the village around 1a.m and attacked two persons. You can imagine when uninvited strangers swooped on innocent people at such an ungodly hour.
\n\u201cYou see why we are saying we don\u2019t want these people who don\u2019t have respect for human lives. The residents have vowed to defend themselves if they try anything of such again\u201d.
\nWhen Sunday Vanguard called the Oyo State Chairman of Miyetti Allah, Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar Jiji, he said he didn\u2019t hear anything about the attack.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t know anything. Is it today? May be when I go out, I will find out. But, as of now, there is peace,\u201d Jiji said.
\nIgangan came into national attention when community youths, led by Sunday Adeyemo, otherwise known as Sunday Igboho, led other residents to enforce seven days quit order issued to herdsmen in the community, who they accused of beheading one U.S returnee farmer, Dr. Fatai Aborode. The resulting violence led to the destruction of properties in the area with the Sarkin Fulani, Seriki Salihu Abdul Kadir, fleeing to Ilorin.
\nAs of yesterday, Sunday Vanguard gathered that a self-imposed dusk to dawn curfew was in place at Igangan to prevent escalation of the crisis.
\nAn impeccable source said, \u201cYouths have trooped out in large numbers to defend themselves from any further attack. We can see some security agents patrolling the town while officers of the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun are keeping vigilance.\u201d
\nOyo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, CSP Gbenga Fadeyi, said policemen had been dispatched there.
\n\u201cAlready, we have arrested six suspected hoodlums causing problems in the area. There are several policemen there so that peace can be restored.\u201d
