A herdsman identified as Muhammadu Abubakar has been sentenced to life imprisonment by an Ekiti State high court.
The herdsman attempted to murder a man also identified as Chief Samuel Amaa and other victims. He was then arrested by the police and charged to court where a witness was called;
“The defendant was challenged while grazing on the cassava farm; he was angry for being questioned. He pulled out his gun and fired at the people who challenged him, but they were fortunate it (the bullet) missed them.”
“He was later overpowered by residents while trying to escape, following which he was handed over to the police”.
The judge gave his verdict by sentencing the defendant to life imprisonment.
