The victim allegedly challenged the herdsmen who invaded his farm with their cattle to graze on his crops. This angered the herdsmen and they attacked him with a dagger, leaving him with stab wounds in about six places.

The suspects were apprehended by the villagers and were immediately taken to the palace of Soun of Ogbomosho, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye.

They were subsequently handed over to the police for investigation.

Meanwhile, the body of the deceased has been deposited in a private mortuary.
