A 60-year-old cattle owner, Abubakar Umoru of Olokemeji Village in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State, has reported the death of three of his cows allegedly poisoned by suspected farm workers.
Umoru said his cattle, valued at about N3 million, died after consuming cassava tubers laced with a grey powdery substance believed to be poison along a farm path near the property of one Sunday Sanni.
He alleged that two of Sanni’s farm workers, including one known as “Yellow,” had earlier assaulted his son, Abu Abubakar, and inflicted machete cuts on six of his cows before the poisoning incident.
Following the complaint, one of the suspects was arrested, while efforts are ongoing to track down the two accomplices who are currently at large.
