Description

Farmers in some communities in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State have called on state government and security agencies in the state to come to their aid following incessant attacks by suspected herdsmen.

The farmers alleged that the herdsmen again invaded the Power Line, Ago Oyinbo and Ala Reserves communities on Friday and Saturday, destroying their farms and injuring no fewer than eight farmers.

The attack was said to be the second this year.

Speaking on the development on Monday in Akure, the state capital, one of the farmers, Mr Samuel Olowolafe, said the herdsmen have continued to wreak havoc on the people of the community without any resistance.
