The manner some so called Herdsmen are operating with impunity is
getting really worrisome. A woman was on Sunday r*ped by suspected
herdsmen at a farm at Ubuneke-Ivbiaro community in Owan East local
government area.
The woman was said to have been r*ped after the herdsmen beat up her husband while they were at the farm.
Husband of the r*ped victim who gave his name as Umoru Agunu said the
armed herdsmen that attacked him and r*ped his wife were six.
According to him, “No sooner had I arrived at my farm with my wife
than I saw six armed herdsmen demanding for my phone but when I told
them I don’t have any they beat me up mercilessness and took my wife to a
distant where she was r*ped by two of the men. They were also with a young woman who probably is their victim.
A leader in the community, Yakubu Ibrahim, said farmers in the village
are living in fear of armed herdsmen who, he stated, have laid siege to
the community.
Ibrahim said, “We have been under sieged by the activities of armed men
since 2015. They have r*ped several of our married women, kidnapped and
physically assaulted both male and female in the farms and while going
and returning from markets.
“Many people have been kidnapped while several people were assaulted.
Several millions of Nara have also been paid as ransom. Our people are
now living in perpetual fears both in the farm and at home.
“We are agrarian communities known for the production of rice, cassava,
cashew, cocoa, plantain, banana, palm oil among others. Since the taking
over of the communities by these unknown gunmen it has been very
difficult for us to go to farm and markets”, he said
Ibrahim said the Sunday r*pe incident have been reported to the area's Divisional Police Officer.
Another community leader, Yusuf Adamu, said some herdsmen who were
arrested last year by volunteer vigilante group have been released for
lack of evidence.
