An elder statesman, Chief Olu Falae, yesterday alleged that some fulani herdsmen destroyed his harvested crops in his farm.
The former Minister for Finance said the attack had been happening for the past few weeks.
It will be recalled that suspected herdsmen had razed Falae’s farm two years ago, destroying valuables worth of millions.
He explained that he had reported to the police and the state chairman of Miyetti Allah but there was no change.
He said, “policemen were deployed to my farm. The drove the bandits away but the following day after the police had left, the herdsmen returned to the farm. They stole some crops, and destroyed the ones they could not take away”
The herders also allegedly attacked the residence of the farmworkers with dangerous weapons and chased away the staff.
One of the staff said he escaped through the windows when the herdsmen arrived at their residence.
He stated that the herdsmen allegedly ransacked their rooms and took away their belongings including cash and cutlasses.
Falae has therefore written a letter addresse to the Commander of the state security outfit, Chief Adetunji Adeleye for assistance
The former Minister for Finance urged the security outfit to save his farm from the incessant invasion of the herdsmen
