A suspected killer of a herder at Talamu village, Ago-Owu in Ayedaade local government of Osun state, has been arrested by the operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).
The victim, whose name was yet to be ascertained, was found at a farm in Ago-Owu Farm Settlement, Thursday.
The spokesperson of the NSCDC in the state, Kehinde Adeleke, told Blueprint Weekend that a suspect was identified by a survivor of the incident.
“The Seriki Fulani of Ìjèbú Igbó reported the case at Orile Owu police station. A personnel of the corps was also present during the evacuation of the corpse from the farm.
“It has been confirmed that the apprehended suspect and farmer upon whose farmland the Fulani herdsmen grazed, killed the man.
“The survivor of the ambush arrived at the Orile Owu police station Friday and identified him as the one who attacked them and killed his co-herder. He, afterward, made a confessional statement and affirmed the identification made by the Fulani survivor,” the NSCDC operative said.
