He said some farmers in Oda town had come to report activities of the herdsmen destroying their cassava, maize and yam.

Around 10:00 pm we had to maneuver straight into motion and visited the farm where we found them with some 65 cows. 

So, we marched them from the Odo-Igbo group to the Amotekun headquarters after the operation,' he said

While denouncing the actions of the herdsmen within the state over the destruction of agricultural lands, Olatunji said the security agencies in Ondo would not tolerate crime of any kind.
