Scores of gunmen last night invaded Igangan, the town that recently sent Fulani herders packing. The gunmen were said to have struck at midnight killing, maiming and setting houses ablaze.
The hoodlums which, the Spokesperson of Igangan people, Mr Taiwo Adeagbo, said were Fulani herders, also set ablaze the palace of the monarch in the agrarian town.
The unprovoked attacks have been confirmed by the former caretaker chairman of the council, Mr Tunji Omolewu, who said he rushed down to Igangan this morning to verify the attacks.
