Officers from Ogun State Police
Command 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.”
