ANOTHER HIDDEN FULANI CELL DISCOVERED IN IJEBU NORTH EAST OF OGUN STATE

By: Sam Kayode

Omugbawojo is a remote Ogun state village tucked within Ogun/Oyo/Osun state forests and that axis stretching from Imuku, Atan Odosimadegun is home to over 2000 undocumented and highly dangerous herdsmen, infact they are lords of that jungle living and breeding both man and animals in inside the forest reserve.

All the villagers are afraid of them and whenever they grazed their cassava farms, they dare not question these fulani herdsmen.

According to a reliable source who also was a victim that nearly escaped their wrath and later abandoned his over 20 hectares cassava farm in the area when the Fulanis threatened to kill him when he complained bitterly to their Sarki about his men.

He said, ” after my over N30m cassava investment was destroyed and fed to their cows overnight, I decided to trace them to their abode which is about 3 kilometers deep inside the forest and it is only accessible through a narrow one lane footpath . What I saw there was like a big town with multiple colony of huts numbering over a hundred while over 2000 cows laid and lazying comfortable on over 3 hectares of shaded land.

To get there, I was led by hunters who assisted me unarmed as they are sternly warned by their Sarki Fulani not to hunt near their camps or get closer otherwise they will be killed.

So, the hunters are afraid of them too, but after motivating them with some ‘change’ they decided to take me to their Sarki not to accuse them o, but to beg and pay homage to the highly revered Sultan of Reserve and possibly bribe them not to tamper with my farm again .

That was how I entered their base and true to it , most of them we met on the way were fully armed but fear no let me look which kind gun dem carry because they were fiercely looking at us with suspicions.

Since then I have not returned to my farm again because even the Baales of surrounding villages are also afraid to confront them, rather they too are ironically their stooges” .

During Ikokore Reporters enquiries about these Fulanis routes that did not cross the highways even whenever they journeyed from that Atan area to Niger Republic and other Sahel regions where they nomad-ed from to Atan in such high numbers without being detected by the security agencies.

Another informant who confided in Ikokore Reporters disclosed that these herdsmen have a sound knowledge and maps on on their palms of every in and out routes in the southwest forests.

He told us that from that same camp in Atan , they have a footpath route without passing through any village into Ibadan/Ijebuode express roads where most kidnappings occurred daily and instantly disappeared into Osun forest and other hidden camps under one hour by trekking with their game.

Now, the one million naira question being asked is how ready and prepared are the AMOTEKUN corps established by the state governments of southwest to combat these terrorists?

Can they confront these marauders with dane guns or they should ignore the law and equipped their men with superior firepower?
The citizens are worried and waiting endlessly.
