A resident of Akure, the Ondo State capital, Mr. Olatunji Atangbayila, has alleged that his life and that of his family members are under threat by herdsmen who claimed attacked and destroyed his house during the #EndSARS protest.
Atangbayila, a middle-age man, revealed this while conducting newsmen round his house which was allegedly destroyed by herdsmen in an attack that coincided with the recent #EndSARS protests.
It would be recalled that the farmland of a former Secretary to the Federal Government, Chief Olu Falae in Ilado, Akure, a few kilometres from Atangbayila’s residence, was penultimate Sunday ravaged for the umpteenth time by suspected herdsmen.
According to Atangbayila, no fewer than 10 herdsmen visited his house on September 19, 2020 when he and his family had travelled out of the state.
“They pulled down my perimetre fence, worth hundreds of thousands of naira, accusing me of blocking the way to the stream where their cattle graze and drink water.”
