The
Oyo State Police Command has arrested a herdsman for robbery, Umoru and Umoru
Sanda were accused of attacking Kehinde Rafiu along Igangan/Iganna road, via
Iwere Ile in Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State, beating him with a shepherd club and
machete before robbing him of his motorcycle.
While
parading the suspects, Commissioner of Police in the state, Leye Oyebade, said
the victim later died in a hospital because of the fatality of his injury.
Umoru,
20, said his accomplice, Sanda, 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.
“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 use 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.”
Asked
for the motive behind the robbery when he was already engaged as a herdsman,
Umoru said he had no clear understanding of why he took to the crime and that
it was his destiny to rob.
“I
don’t know why I did it. 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,” he said.
