There is panic in some communities in Yewa-North, Ogun State, as some suspected killer herdsmen have written to residents threatening they would invade the area in the next one month.
Although the state government has yet to comment on the development, the state police command has acknowledged the letter pasted in the area on Saturday.
The communities identified by the suspected killer herdsmen, who are claiming some land in their letter, area, Agbon, Ibeku and Oja-Odan.
The letter written in English and Yoruba reads (SIC): “Attention! Attention!! Attention!! to all following communities; Asa, Agbon, lbeku, Oja-odan and its environs.
‘from the land they bought in Nigeria, our fathers land, you kill our people, you kill their cows, you take over all their properties, you think you can go scot-free. It’s high time we come for revenge.
“All the above mention communities leaders should prepare for the war between December and January. We are coming to take back our father’s property.”
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, has, according to ‘The Punch’ responded to the threat, saying, “Well, I saw the letter purportedly written by a baseless group. We believe it is a baseless group that wrote the letter. We are not losing any sleep because no information is too small to take note of.
“We are not neglecting it. We are working on it to unravel those behind it.”
