And that they’ve been warned by the herdsmen not to go near their farms and plantations, out of fear of being killed several residents of the communities have fled to other Communities.
According to a resident, he said that the herdsmen are in the habit of Kidnapping people and demanding Ransom, they even go as far as entering into people’s houses to kidnap individuals, he further pleaded for the Government to come to their rescue.
source said, “They recently entered into a house and kidnapped a young girl just hours after they released a man from their captive after collecting ransom which was negotiated from N10 million to N1 million.
“For fear of the attacks, some of the residents of the communities have left the area. We want government and the police to save us in this area.”
The police spokesperson of the state, Fumilayo Odunlami has said they are yet to be briefed about the incident, but they’ll dispatch some men to the area to confirm the incidents.
