Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested three herdsmen over the roles they played in the attack of Bamajo Village in Ayeotoro area of Ogun State.
They were arrested on Thursday.
The men were said to have, in the early hours of the day, attacked the village where they set some houses ablaze and inflicted a deep machete cut on one Ismaila Alabi.
On receiving the report, the Area Commander, Ayetoro, ACP Anthony Aruna, mobilised his men, hunters and youths to the scene where the entire area was thoroughly combed.
The combing exercise was extended to Igboaje bush where one Musa Yusuf was apprehended with gun and a blood stained cutlass.
