According to the letter, the incidents were reported to Chairman Meyetti Allah within the state but that didn’t deter the herdsmen from destroying some sections of the vast farm with about four workers injured within the attack.
The letter read “In a previous couple of weeks, Fulani herdsmen came into my maize farm twice to eat up and trample large sessions of the farm.
“I reported the incidents to Alh. Bello. Chairman Meyetti Allah for Ondo State, nothing went on. within a previous couple of days, they need to be gone to attack my citrus farm by stealing harvested oranges and destroying what they might not take away.

“Please let Amotekun save us and our livelihood. They kidnapped me on 21st September 2015; they ought to not be allowed to try to do it again.”
