Youths from Ajowa community in the Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State, onMonday prevented over 200 Fulani herdsmen from settling in the community. The Fulani herdsmen who were loaded in a trailer from the Northern part of the country arrived at the town on Monday morning and were about settling down when the youths ordered them back into the truck. They insisted that herdsmen would not be accommodated in the community, saying the number of the Fulani herdsmen was intimidating and they are not ready to witness further havoc in the area. He noted that the community remained one of the most accommodating communities in the state, but said the number of the Fulani herdsmen transported to the community signalled suspicion but called for caution. It will be recalled that a similar incident occurred some two years ago when some Fulani herdsmen were turned back from the area.
