A community leader, Owolafe Folorunsho said the attack was triggered because farmers tried to stop the continued wanton destruction of their crops by the herdsmen.
He said the herders have continued to invade their farmlands at night and harvest crops to feed their Cows.
Confirming the incident, the Onimoru of Imoru, Oba Rotimi Obamuwagun lamented the atrocities of the herdsmen in the area.
He expressed sadness over the criminal activities of the herdsmen in his domain.
