Suspected herdsmen have slaughtered a farmer, Musa Monsuro, on his cashew farm at Araromi village, Igboora, in the Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Monsuro was reportedly hacked to death around 5pm on Monday. The reason he was killed could not be ascertained as at the time of filling this report.
According to PUNCH, some residents on Tuesday said that security agents were alerted and they went to the farm to pick the corpse, which was taken to a mortuary.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, who confirmed the incident in a text message said, “The case is undergoing investigation. You will be updated accordingly.”
The killing is coming after a break of some months in killings, raping, destroying farmlands by suspected herdsmen after Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, visited the area to warn against such acts.
