The vast farmland of Mr. Olu Falae, former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, has been invaded again by marauding herdsmen.
They reportedly attacked policemen who were standing
guard at the farm located at Kajola Village, Ondo State. According to reports, the brazen herdsmen numbering up to
10 opened fire on the policemen and even challenged the cops that they would
not leave the farm until, their cattle grazed on it.
However, the herdsmen where reportedly chased away
according to Mr. Femi Joseph, the state Police Public Relations Officer who
also said no arrests were made.
Confirming the incident, Falae said; “I invited the
police to my farm because the herdsmen have been coming to the farm every day
for several weeks. They came into the farm around 5am till 9am and destroyed
the farm. So, I went to the police for protection and some policemen were sent
to the farm.
“They got to the farm and met three separate herds
feeding fat on my farm. When the policemen approached them, they fired at the
policemen.“The policemen went there to see if they can effect
arrest for trespassing and destroying farm produce. So if the herdsmen could
fire at the policemen what would they do to me?”
