Two Ekiti State monarchs have been gunned down by suspected herdsmen on Monday.
The incident reportedly happened between Oke-Ako and Ipao-Ekiti in Ajoni Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
The Onimojo of Imojo Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area and the Elesun of Esun Ekiti in Ajoni, Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State, were said to have been attacked by the gunmen while retuning from a meeting.
Sources disclosed that another monarch, Alara of Ara in Ikole, narrowly escaped when the armed men accosted them and attempted to forcefully take them away.
“They were travelling together. The armed herdsmen stopped them and rained bullets on them. They took their personal belongings and dragged their bodies into the bush,” Oodua News quoted a source as saying.
These animals….terrorist needs not being handed to the police…wherever they are seen…even in the Bush they should be despatched to their creator.
The govt should quickly come up with with state policing system..otherwise these imported killers will truncate the peace of the land.
