Under fire while grazing: Amotekun’s daring rescue of kidnapped Fulani boys in Ondo

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Vanguard Nigeria

It started like any other grazing day. Abubakar Umaru and Abdullahi Umaru, both teenagers, led their family’s cattle towards the grasslands near Owo, on the boundary between Ondo and Edo states. They carried sticks, not phones. They knew the paths by memory. By dusk, they were not home. Neither were the cows. The post Under fire while grazing: Amotekun’s daring rescue of kidnapped Fulani boys in Ondo appeared first on Vanguard News.
