Ekiti: Fulani herdsmen kill pregnant woman in farm settlement

Community sources have confirmed the death of a pregnant woman, who was killed by suspected herdsmen in a farm settlement at Orin community in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State.

The woman who’s said to be a Tiv from Benue State was reportedly killed, as a form of retaliation after a Fulani man was murdered in Oke-Ako.

A report has it that the incident happened, barely 24 hours after Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State summoned a peace meeting between the Fulani and Benue people in Ekiti State, where he warned against retaliatory attacks which may result in deaths in Ekiti.
