Viral Clip Shows Fulani Herdsman Hitting Amotekun Officer in Oyo State
A widely shared video captures a Fulani herder striking a Western Nigeria Security Network (Amotekun) operative in the face with a cattle stick, leaving a visible injury around the officer’s mouth. Reports suggest the attack followed an order by the Amotekun officer to stop the herder from crossing into a restricted boundary. The confrontation escalated quickly, with the herder swinging his stick at close range. The incident is said to have occurred in Ibadan, Oyo State, possibly near Okeho in Kajola Local Government. Some witnesses claim the herder had earlier been reported for harassing local women. There is no official statement yet from Amotekun or state authorities regarding arrests or the officer’s condition. The video has ignited strong reactions online, with many condemning the assault on security personnel and raising concerns about rising tensions between herders and local communities in the region.
