A prominent Fulani herdsman in Ondo State, Aliu Yunusa, has been killed by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.
Yunusa was killed near Ilu-Abo junction, Akure South local government area while going to his ranch.
Commander of Ondo Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, said Yunusa was killed by individuals believed to be fellow Fulani herdsmen who attempted to rustle his cattle.
He said, “They had earlier kidnapped his wife, but he fought them off and retrieved her.
“Unfortunately, they returned, overpowered and killed him while trying to steal his cows.
“A distress call was placed to the Amotekun Corps’ Ogbese outpost by fellow herdsmen who discovered Yunusa’s lifeless body at the scene.
“Upon arriving at the location, Amotekun officers found Yunusa’s body with multiple machete wounds.
“His motorcycle had also been set ablaze by the assailants.
“Our officers are combing the forest in search of these criminals,” Adeleye stated. (The Nation: Text, Excluding Headline)
