Some hoodlums suspected to be herdsmen have killed a farmer, Musa Monsuro, in the Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Monsuro was reportedly slaughtered on his cashew farm at Araromi village, Igboora, around 5pm on Monday.
While the reason he was killed could not be ascertained, there were reports that those behind the act were herdsmen.
Some residents told PUNCH Metro on Tuesday that security agents were alerted and they went to the farm to pick the corpse, which was taken to a mortuary.

The killing is coming after a break of some months in killings by suspected herdsmen.
Ibarapa had been ravaged by criminal herdsmen who allegedly killed, maimed, raped residents and destroyed farmlands before Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, visited the area to warn against such acts.
