Five members of vigilance group have been reportedly killed by herdsmen in Arimojiga community, Ose Local Government Area.

The incident occurred less than 48 hours after Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu visited Molege, a neighbouring community where three persons were killed and houses razed.

Members of Ondo Amotekun Corps, who responded to distress call to Molege were attacked by the herdsmen who took cover in trees.

One Amotekun operative was injured in the attack.

It was gathered that the Tuesday’s attack on Arimojiga took the patrolling vigilance groups unaware.

A source said the community youth chairman, Augustine Lucky, was among those killed.

Ondo Police spokesman, Fumilayo Odunlami, said she was yet to get details of the attack.

Commander of Ondo Amotekun Corps, Chief Adetunji Adeyeye, said his men stationed at Molege were informed about the attack and rushed to the area.

He said his men were still in the forest but declined to give any further details on casualties. (The Nation)
