Fasoye orders arrest of 7 in Ekiti for alleged attack on Herdsmen

By

Ekiti governor, Ayodele Fayose has ordered the arrest of seven youths in the state for an alleged attack on one Ibrahim and the killing of four of his cows.Fayose gave this update while in a meeting with Ekiti traditional leaders at the Government House in Ado-Ekiti. He also mentioned to them that the sum of N5 million had been awarded the family of a teenager allegedly shot by a policeman attached to the Igogo Ekiti police post during the violence that ensued over a chieftaincy title in the state.“I have ordered for the immediate arrest and detention of those seven people because we have established that they went with many others to attack a herdsman and killed four of his cows.“That is an act of criminality which would not be condoned by our government. If we can jail herdsmen for violating the anti-grazing Law of the state, we would not hesitate from punishing our people who illegally and unjustly attack any herdsman in our community.“Nigeria is one and we must ensure our unity. The herdsmen and our people have equal rights on our soil, no one should attack or harass them,” Fayose further said.Speaking on the death of the teenager, “We will get to the root of these. We have also awarded a sum of N5m to the deceased family so as to cushion the effect of their grievous loss.”
