An angry mob in Edo reportedly lynched some Fulani herdsmen who were allegedly intercepted with firearms and assorted charms within the state.
In an undated viral video seen by TheNewsGuru (TNG), the five herdsmen were ordered to sit on the ground and interrogated by the angry youths who displayed the firearms, charms and other weapons allegedly found on them.
Meanwhile, the Sarkin Hausawa of Edo, Alhaji Adamu Isa, on Thursday, reacted on the report of the alleged killings.
Isa made the disclosure shortly after a closed-door meeting with Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo at Government House, Benin.
He said “We discussed the issue of banditry, herders and farmers’ crisis and other security challenges and lies being posted on the social media that some Arewa members were being killed in Edo.
“So, as far as I am concerned, as the Sarkin Hausa of Benin, who is the head of all the Arewa communities in Edo, I have not gotten facts about this story been spread on social media. As far as we are concerned in Edo, Edo is a peace-loving place,” he said.
