Police in Kwara State have deployed a detergent of policemen to Motokun, a village in Patigi Local Government Area following a clash between Fulani herdsmen and inhabitants of the community. The incident, according to sources, occurred when suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked members of the community.
The incident came less than two months after a similar clash at Oro-Ago in Ifleodun Local Government Area left at least three persons dead. The casualty figure from yesterday’s clash could not be ascertained at press time. There were concerned that the figure might be high given the fact that the affected villagers were said to have mobilised and launched a counter-attack on the herdsmen. Police sources said that a Deputy Commissioner of Police was mandated to move to the scene of the clash by the Police Commissioner, Mr Salihu Garuba.
