Suspected herdsmen hack 64 year old father of 7 to death in Ondo

A 64 year old father of seven, Linus Ogehee, was
hacked to death by suspected herdsmen at a
settlement in Akure North Local Government Area
of Ondo State on Sunday June 25th.
According to Sahara Reporters, the deceased was
killed on his farm which he had been cultivating
on for over 20 years. Narrating what happened,
his wife, Roseline Ogehee, said
"It was almost getting too dark and my
husband had not returned from the farm,
so I decided to trace him down there. As I
stepped into the farm, I saw the lifeless
body of my husband with cuts, bruises
and bullet wounds on his corpse. I feared
and immediately ran back to the village
and also raised alarm to the villagers that
they (Fulani herdsmen) have killed my
husband".
The gruesome murder has led to protests, as
angry villagers and youths including school
children, came out to express their outrage at the
murder of the poor farmer. They demanded an
immediate investigation, and the arrest of the
culprits responsible for the cold-blooded murder,
which took place in Oleyo, in Igbatoro area.
The protesters, armed with placards and tree
branches, called on the security agencies in Ondo
State to save their villages from the incessant
invasions by herdsmen.
