Again suspected Fulani herdsmen invaded the farm of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae, killing one of the guards in his farm in Ilado in Akure North local Government Area of Ondo State. A source said the guard was one of his Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) security guard hired by the elderstateman to help secure his farm after the previous attacks in the farm.
The source said the herdsmen stormed the farm located at Ilado and kidnapped the security guard. The remains of the security guard was later discovered few days ago inside a pool of water which is few kilometres to the farm. It was gathered that the herdsmen invaded the farm last weekend and they were resisted by the security guards engaged by the politician following incessant invasion of the farm.
The herdsmen according to sources retreated only to resurface again and reportedly kidnapped one of the security guards on the farm. Saturday Telegraph learnt that the matter was reported at the state police command and a search party was organised following which his corpse was discovered many day later.
The state police command which had sent out invitation for a press briefing to journalists in the state yesterday abruptly cancelled it. The state Commissioner of Police, Hilda Harrison, did not give any reason for the cancellation of the media briefing. But sources at the state Police Command said that the assignment may have been halted because the Commissioner has no approval from the Inspector General of Police.
