Armed men suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on Wednesday attacked passengers on the Ife-Ibadan highway, leaving one person dead.<\/p>\n

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the dead man was identified as Adenipekun Ademiju, male and a worker in the Atakumosa West Local Government Area of Osun State.<\/p>\n

Ademiju was said to have boarded a vehicle at Osu town going to Ibadan when he and other passengers were attacked at Ikire town along the expressway.<\/p>\n

According to an eye-witness account, Ademiju was hit by bullet as the robbers fired indiscriminately at the moving vehicle to forcefully stop it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe man was killed instantly by Fulani herdsmen who rob regularly on this road.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was Ademiju and the driver that were in the car but while the robbers were shooting indiscriminately to forcefully stop them, the bullet hit the deceased.<\/p>

\u201cThe driver ran into the nearby bush and Ademiju\u2019s body was left on the highway by the robbers, who went away with the car,\u201d the witness said.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Officer of the Osun State Police Command, SP. Folashade Odoro, who confirmed the incident in an interview with newsmen, said police were still investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

Herdsmen and other criminal gangs have launched deadly attacks on highways in parts of the country in recent years, making travelling a risky venture nationwide.<\/p>\n

Kidnappers have similarly, descended on hapless citizens in full force but the Federal Government has equally descended on the criminal elements, making life unbearable for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
