One person has died while many cows were killed in a bloody clash between resident Fulani and indigenes of Olokemeji village in Odeda local government area of Ogun state.

Galaxy TV News gathered that the villagers held a suspected Fulani kidnapper with large foodstuffs in the village.

He reportedly pleaded to be allowed to make calls to his leaders. After the call,   his leaders stormed the village with guns and killed one vigilante while they rescued their errand boy.

Irked by the loss of their person, the villagers allegedly poisoned the farms which led to a loss of many cows brought into the village few days after the incident.
