Farmer Killed While harvesting In Ogun

A 35-year-old farmer, Gbenga Kiki was strangled to death while harvesting on a farm in Orisada-Eyo, Yewa, Ogun State.

According to Punch and Daily Post, he went to the farm with his nine year old daughter to harvest Tomatoes. The daughter was able to escape from the attack. She was found wandering at a junction and was taken home.

Gbenga's corpse was later found by the area vigilance group.



According to Mrs. Celina Kiki, Gbenga's Mother, the killers trailed her son to the farm and killed him.

She said, “It was around 12pm on Sunday. I prepared food for him and asked him to eat before going to the farm as he had much work to do. He insisted on going, adding that he would return to eat as he was not going to stay long. He went on his motorcycle.
“He said I should keep the food for him. When it was, however, getting late, I became worried that he had not returned. Minutes later, I saw a man riding his motorcycle home. The man brought back Gbenga’s daughter.
“I was shocked and knew that something bad had happened. The girl could not explain anything. The attackers must have dropped her at a junction while they went to carry out their wicked act.
“We kept on searching for Gbenga until Thursday when his corpse was found on the farmland. We do not know who killed him. I am still in pains.”
The Ogun State Police  have confirmed the incident and are currently investigating it.
