On his part, Alhaji Muhammadu Chede said that a Fulani herdsman, known as Jiji Danmawale, was killed in the process and his body burnt.

Chede is the victim’s elder brother, according to reports gathered.

“We are now at Randa in Abeokuta, we are making some arrangements to get his remains for burial,” he also said.

Meanwhile, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police is currently having a peace meeting with the communities affected.

Egua is considered a troublesome area as it experiences Fulani Herdsmen/Farmers clashes every year during dry season.

This is because more herdsmen storm the area at this period for greener pastures to feed their cattle.

Sunday Igboho was in Abeokuta on Monday evening where he revealed that he was being invited by the Ogun State government.

This claim has since been denied by the state government.

Igboho was also in some communities in Oyo State in January where he led the youth to chase away Fulani herdsmen while their belongings were damaged.
