A Fulani herdsman who is being made to answer for his crime, has made a rather shocking confession while being interrogated.
A fulani herdsman identifiued as Amidu Umoru, was arrested by the Oyo State Police Command for robbery.
While being interrogated, he said it was his destiny to rob despite being a herdsman.
According to The Punch, Amidu Umoru and another man, 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
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.”
Asked for the motive behind the robbery when he was already engaged
as a herdsman, Umoru said he had no clear understand 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.
