Kwara Community Accuses Police Of Siding With Herdsmen

Date: 2015-06-15

The Oro-Ago Development Union (ODU) in Ifelodun local government area of Kwara State has accused the police high command of siding with the Fulani herdsmen to allegedly attack its members and also destroy their farmlands.

The union also alleged that some policemen who came from Abuja killed one woman and arrested five members of the community on the 12th of this month. The deceased whose name was given as Bolatito Balogun was said to have been shot by the police while women in the community were protesting the arrests of their men.

About two months ago, a bloody clash ensued between some Fulani herdsmen and members of Oro-Ago community at the community's market square leading to the death of two.

Addressing newsmen in Ilorin yesterday, the President of Oro-Ago Development Union (ODU), Chief Richard said another woman, Tope Ologemo hit by the police bullet is still recuperating in the hospital.

He added that six of the community members arrested and taken to Abuja in connection with the April 30th crisis are still in the police custody. He urged the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase to fish out the police that pulled the trigger which killed the late Mrs. Ologemo.

"A more nauseating, provoking and pathetic incident occurred on Friday, June 12, 2015. Another set of police officers just like that of April from IGP office, Abuja, fully armed stormed the community as early as 7am and started shooting indiscriminately and arrested our people.

"The action was contrary to what they told our monarch, Oba Johnson O. Dada, the previous day that they were in the community on a peace mission and to visit places where the incident occurred as well as the place where one Seriki Bamo, who was the complainant to the office of IG on the first incident was killed about a week ago.

"The indiscriminate shooting led to our people running helter-skelter and scampering for safety. The police went away with at least five of our men. We say five because some people are still missing after the incident and their whereabouts still unknown. The names of the five we can identify are Oladele Ponle, Chief Asanlu Salawu, Karimu Aremu, Rasaki Illa and Tunde Abolaji.

"Unfolding developments show that the police are in cahoots with the Bororos.
