OGUN- Some Yoruba Nation agitators and hunters of Iraye, a border community between Ikorodu, Lagos State, and Shagamu town in Ogun State, have burnt a Fulani settlement in the area.
In a video obtained by SaharaReporters, the settlement of the Fulani herdsmen was burnt to ashes after an alleged attack on the residents.
The residents alleged that Fulani herdsmen evacuated their wives from the community on Sunday and attacked people in the area on Monday.
It was gathered that the assailants were counter-attacked by able hunters and Oduduwa Nation agitators, who arrested two, out of seven attackers and handed them over to the police.
One of the agitators said, “This is Iraye, after Mosimi filling station, this is the Fulani settlement in flames. Actually, for two months now, there have been reports of abductions and similar incidents but no one paid attention.
“On Sunday, the Fulani herdsmen who live in the area relocated their wives and all their children unknown to us that they wanted to carry out an operation and today, Monday, they came with AK-47s but they met their match because the people here are hunters who counter-attacked them accordingly.
