Three herdsmen arrested for killing pastor in Ogbomoso
The death of a pastor in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has led to the arrest of three suspects.
The Evangelist Adegboyega pastor was killed in the Gege region near the Ogbomoso-Iseyin route by what are believed to be herdsmen.
Three herders are being held after killing a preacher in Ogbomoso.
The victim is said to have challenged the ranchers to let their cattle graze on his crops when they broke into his land. The herdsmen assaulted him with a dagger after becoming enraged by this, stabbing him roughly six times.
After the locals captured the suspects, they were brought right away to Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, the Soun of Ogbomosho, in his palace.
They were subsequently handed over to the police for investigation.
Meanwhile, the body of the deceased has been deposited in a private mortuary.
