Yoruba, herdsmen clash claims four lives in Alapa
No fewer than four persons were feared dead on Friday following a clash between the Yoruba and Fulani herdsmen at Alapa Village along Iseyin road, Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara.
Trouble was said to have started on Monday when a Yoruba man, whose name was yet to be identified, was allegedly attacked and killed by suspected Fulani cattle rearers along a farm land. The victim was said to have died on the spot.
Our correspondent gathered on Friday that when the victim’s kinsmen heard of the death of their townsman, they were said to have mobilised and attacked some of the herdsmen.The reprisal was said to have lasted from Tuesday till Thursday leading to the burning of huts of the herdsmen even in the bushes.
A source told our correspondent that three corpses of Fulanis had been evacuated from the bush while the remains of the Yoruba man had also been recovered by the police.
The Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Agboola Oshodi-Glover, in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Friday declined to state the number of the casualties in the communal clash. He said the police had restored normalcy in the area, adding that people had started going about their normal businesses.
