"WE ARE NOT SAFE AGAIN,". Oyo female famers crys out over r**e of aged women by herdsmen
Female farmers in Oyo State who are members of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria, AFAN, have cried out over the alleged r**e of aged female farmers by some herdsmen in the state.
She said: “Our people have spoken but I want to talk about r**e of older women by young suspected Fulani herders. This is abominable and it should not happen again. Some of them would meet female farmers in the bush and r**e them.
“Some of these women are old and have stopped mensuration a long time ago and even their husbands don’t touch them again. But they would meet them in the bush and mo**st them sexually.
“Fulani girls and women are beautiful but despite that, no Yoruba boy or man has even met them in the bush and r**e them. It has never happened around this axis.
“So, let us tell them that their children (young herders) must not mo**st our mothers and other females again. Anybody caught doing this should be heavily punished according to the law and I believe that will serve as a deterrent to others.”
Reacting, the secretary of AFAN in the state, Mr Adewumi Abass, said a meeting would be organised so that stakeholders could say whatever was bothering them, assuring that all the issues would be addressed.
