According to Vanguard Newspapers, the herdsmen opened fire at the palmwine tapper and his friend.

Speaking on the incident, the Olotu-Logbo of the Ofagbe Kingdom, Othuke Omejedo said “One woman ran to me that as she was going to the market, she met the lifeless body of a boy lying on the ground on the road leading to Ashaka. She said another one was injured.”

The injured man, Mr. Thompson Ogege has since been taken to the hospital for treatment.
