A cattle ranch owned by former Ogun State House of Representative member Adesegun Adekoya was attacked by suspected armed robbers on Thursday.
According to Ogun State Police Command spokesperson Omolola Odutola, the thieves broke into the ranch through the windows and attacked two farmers.
His words: “A call was made to inform the police command about an attack that occurred at the victim’s cow ranch around 1:35 pm today.
“Some suspected thieves allegedly broke through the windows to gain access to the building.”
The victims, Friday Ogan (security guard) and 75-year-old Adamu Idi, sustained machete wounds.
“As soon as the police were informed, they sprang into action,” Odutola added. “Upon arriving at the scene, the DPO took the victims to a nearby hospital called Love and Care Hospital for treatment.”
It was gathered that none of the cows were taken, and efforts are ongoing to track down and arrest the fleeing suspects.
“Investigations are ongoing, and any further developments will be communicated,” Odutola said.
This incident echoes a similar attack on July 15, 2024, where unidentified hoodlums killed maize farmer Ogar Fidelis in Ijebu-Igbo.
