Nigerians from Yewa axis of Ogun State have fled to neighbouring Benin Republic to seek refuge due to incessant herdsmen attacks on the community as seen in an online video.

The Nigerian, who spoke in English narrated how they were “forcefully migrated” to Benin Republic as a result of the herdsmen crisis.

Asked, the young man explained that many have been killed in Agbon Ojodu and other communities, saying many are still migrating.

“It is because of the Fulani people. They are killing the people anyhow, moving from one place to another. They just kill. That is why the people are scared and they moved here,” he said.
