AMOTEKUN AND HERDERS CLASH IN ONDO, TWO KILLED
Herdsmen on Thursday killed a farmer and a vigilante during a clash with operatives of the Ondo State Security Network known as Amotekun at Ago Sanusi along Ute road in Owo Local Government Area of the state.

When the Amotekun corps members arrived, the herders attacked them which led to the death of a farmer and a vigilante member.
Confirming the incident, Adetunji Adeleye, the Ondo State Commander of Amotekun said: "Amotekun was called yesterday by some farmers that herdsmen had invaded the forest and our men went there to douse tension. A vigilante and a farmer lost their lives in the process."
