The gunmen, who are suspected to be herdsmen, were said to have allegedly ambushed the agrarian community as the residents refused to enable them to graze on their farms.

Narrating ordeals after the attack, a source from the community told The Trumpet that buildings in the community were razed overnight by the herdsmen while the villagers fled for their lives.

“In their vast numbers, the herdsmen attacked the community and killed three in the evening and hours later they came back to burn down the houses in the community in the night,” the source said.

However, another source hinted The Trumpet that the bandits similarly attacked and injured some men of the Ondo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps), who moved to calm the crisis in the community.
