Fulani Herders Attack Women Farmers In Ekiti

Gunmen, suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, yesterday attacked three women farmers at Irele-Ekiti in Ikole Local Council of the state for refusing rape.

The gunmen, who were said to be six in number, allegedly stormed the farm settlement in the early hours of yesterday and viciously attacked their victims, making them sustain life-threatening injuries.

A source said the victims had been taken to Ikole General Hospital for treatment at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

According to the source, the herdsmen had demanded money from their victims but were furious after the women failed to give them the money required and prevented attempts to rape them.
