A woman from Ekiti State has been captured in a viral video lamenting the killing of villagers by suspected herdsmen in the state, noting that even their king who asked them to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last election has now been killed.
The suspected herders killed two traditional rulers in Ekiti State, the Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, Olatunde Olusola, and the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, David Ogunsola, on Monday.
The traditional rulers were said to be returning from a security meeting in Irele-Ekiti in a vehicle being driven by one of their counterparts, the Alara of Ikole Ekiti, Adebayo Fatoba, when gunmen struck at a community in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State on Monday.
They were killed in the ambush, while Fatoba fled the scene.
This is even as the gunmen on the same Monday abducted nine schoolchildren and teachers in the same Ekiti, and have already demanded N100m for their release.
The woman in the video shared by Drive News could be heard lamenting in Yoruba language saying that the king who was killed by the bandits sat down on election day and was instructing them to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
"Your Excellency during the election, the king sat outside and he was instructing everyone to vote for APC. Fulani herdsmen have not given us rest of mind they have been killing villagers too, now they are killing kings," she lamented.
