Man Cries Out As Fulani Herdsmen Burn Down Farm In Ogun

A Facebook user, Fakorede Sola, has cried out over the burning down of his farm by Fulani herdsmen in Ogun state.

Here is his lamentation:

“Four Years ago, I went back to the farm. Invested my life savings and borrowed more money from friends. Took bank loan.

“Considering the future and invested in my passion. Got labour from locals and also employed few from Benin Republic.

“Planted over 4,000 stands of palm tree; over 2,000 stands of plantain; over 500 stands of cashew and about 300 stands of Cocoa.

“I was always excited traveling to Ekiti twice a month from my base in Lagos to monitor the progress of my passion and investment.

“Unfortunately, my hope was dashed this morning (Sunday) when I got the call that Fulani Herdsmen set my farm ablaze last night. Just because they were warned by my workers to stop their activities on the farm.

“Is this how we will continue?”
