It was gathered that the lifeless body of the deceased was found on his farm with machete cuts and his intestines exposed on Sunday, August 11, 2024.
His dog, which had accompanied him to the farm, was also killed and found lying beside him.
Available information had it that Ayeni’s farm was destroyed by herdsmen last week but the security agents and elders in the community intervened and resolved the crisis between him and the herders.
The herders were made to pay an undisclosed amount to the late farmer as compensation.
“The late farmer went to the farm with his dog as usual yesterday (Saturday) but he did not come on time. So this led to a search party who discovered his lifeless body in a pool of blood with his dog and cutlass beside him. He was st@bbed and macheted by the assailants,” the source said.
Sources suggest that Ayeni was k!lled because the herders were dissatisfied with the amount of money they paid as compensation.
