Ogun State Police have arrested two Fulani herdsmen for
allegedly killing another herdsman, whose cattle they were trying to
steal, at Itadodo area of Ofada in Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area
of the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a
statement, disclosed that the two men, Abdulahi Anaruwa and Mohammed
Suleiman, met the deceased, Garuba Mohammed, while he was grazing his
cattle with two of his kinsmen, and lured him into a nearby bush, where
they killed him with machetes, on October 28.
Oyeyemi said luck, however, ran against them when a motorcyclist
(names withheld) saw them and alerted the people of the area, who in
turn called the police.
Oyeyemi said: “The DPO of Owode Egba, CSP Sheu Alao, led his men to the scene and the two suspects were promptly arrested.
“The commissioner of police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the
immediate transfer of the suspects to the homicide section of the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligent Department, SCIID, for further
investigation.
“The CP further warned that crime and criminality will have no place
in Ogun State and that those who are bent on committing crimes will have
the ever-ready police command to contend with.”
