Three Osun Amotekun operatives hospitalised after clash with herders

Osun State Command of the Amotekun Corps on Thursday confirmed an attack on its operatives in Kajola village along Osogbo/Ilesa Road by some suspected herders.

The spokesperson for the Corps, Idowu Yusuff, who spoke with PUNCH Online on the incident, said some farmers had lodged complaints against herders grazing cows on their farms in the area.

Yusuf, who further explained that operatives were immediately deployed to the area, added that upon sighting approaching Amotekun men, the herders fired shots at them.

He added that because the gunshots they fired did not stop the Amotekun operatives from advancing towards the herders, they signalled their cows to attack the men, during which three of the men were injured.
He said, “The incident happened last week Saturday but our men that were injured are still on admission to hospital presently.

“We got complaints from farmers in Kajola, a village along Osogbo/Ilesa road that herders were destroying their farms and we immediately deployed to the area.

“When the men got to the area, they were shot at by the herders, who carried guns. But our men kept advancing towards them. When they saw that bullets could not stop those coming to arrest them, they signalled their cows to attack Amotekun men.

“In that melee, three of our men were injured. They are still on admission as we speak. The herders fled into the bush and left their cows. Normalcy has returned to the area”.
