The vast farmland of Mr. Olu Falae, former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, has been invaded again by marauding
herdsmen.
They reportedly attacked policemen who were standing guard at the farm located at Kajola Village, Ondo State.
According to reports, the brazen herdsmen numbering up to 10 opened fire on the policemen and even challenged the cops that they would not leave the farm until, their cattle grazed on it.
However, the herdsmen where reportedly chased away according to Mr. Femi Joseph, the state Police Public Relations Officer who also said no arrests were made.
Confirming the incident, Falae said; “I invited the police to my farm because the herdsmen have been coming to the farm every day for several weeks.
They came into the farm around 5am till 9am and destroyed the farm. So, I went to the police for protection and some policemen were sent to the farm.
“They got to the farm and met three separate herds feeding fat on my farm. When the policemen approached them, they fired at the policemen.
“The policemen went there to see if they can effect arrest for trespassing and destroying farm produce. So if the herdsmen could fire at the policemen what would they do to me?”
