The governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi has declared that there will be serious war against criminals and killers of residents in Ekiti after two farmers were found dead in their farms.

The governor while stating this explained that the farmers were killed by suspected Bororo herdsmen.

This sparked anger in the community even as the state was thrown into confusion.

After this, the governor visited the families of the deceased farmers, while reassuring them that thorough investigation will be done to get to the root of the occurrence.

‘Yesterday, two of our farmers from Isaba Ekiti, Mr Toyin Akeju known locally as Jisoro and Mr Yusuf Onuche were found dead on the farms with wounds from gun shots suspected to have been fired by Bororo herdsmen. This, understandably, generated a lot of anger in the community

This morning I visited the families of the deceased in the community. In offering commiserations of the government and all our people, I reassured them that we will get to the bottom of this sad occurrence and bring all the criminals involved to book.

This is one killing too many and we must do all we can to protect all citizens. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. Amen.’’
