Suspected herdsmen kill civil servant in Edo
In Edo State, gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have allegedly killed a civil servant and farmer identified as Inofomoh Gabriel. The tragic incident occurred in the Jattu community, which serves as the headquarters of the Uzairue clan in Etsako West Local Government area.
According to reports from Punch, Gabriel, who was a staff member of Auchi Polytechnic, went to his farm on Wednesday, March 27, but failed to return home. Concerned about his absence, a search team was organized to comb the bush for the missing farmer. Unfortunately, his lifeless body was discovered on Saturday, March 30, 2024, with machete cuts covering his body.
A source within the community revealed that suspicions point towards herdsmen, who have been known to kidnap farmers in the area, and in some instances, have resorted to killing their victims. The matter has been reported to the Jattu Police Division, although an official statement from the station has yet to be released.
