A Fulani Herdsman Amidu Umoru who allegedly robbed
and killed with his accomplice Umoru Sanda were
arrested and paraded by the Oyo State Police command
on Friday.
Umoru, 20, who was arrested by the Oyo State Police
Command, along Igangan/Iganna road via Iwere Ile in
Oke-Ogun area of the state, said despite being a
herdsman, he was destined to rob.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP, eye Oyebade,
while parading the suspects before newsmen, said
Umoru and Sanda were accused of attacking one
Kehinde Rafiu, beating him with a shepherd club and
machete before robbing him of his motorcycle.
According to Umoru, his accomplice first attacked the
deceased with machete before he (Umoru) used the
club to beat him to a state of coma because he put up a
fight with them.
The victim later died in a hospital because of the
fatality of the injury.
He said, “Sanda cut the motorcycle owner with his
cutlass and I used the club to beat him. He was
seriously injured but not dead. I normally used the club
to shepherd cattle. After leaving him for dead, we took
his motorcycle away to sell. We were later arrested by
members of the Odua Peoples’ Congress who handed
us over to the police.
“I don’t know why I did it. I had no motive. I cannot
even ride a motorcycle. I am a herdsman and this is my
first time of being arrested or robbing people. Whatever
Allah desires must come to past. I think it is my
destiny to rob,” Umoru added.
