Tension has gripped Omu community in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State where a cattle rearer was beheaded by people suspected to be ritual killers.
The incident happened barely three days after a farmer was beheaded on his farm in Orisunmibare, a nearby controversial boundary settlement between Ayede and Itaji.
The cattle rearer was identified as Ahmed Dele, an Ilorin Fulani from Kwara State, who was said to have been trailed to a spot where he was grazing his cattle some two kilometers from the community.
