      The Fulani Leader further noted that all Fulani herdsmen in Edo State have met and resolved to kill Daniel anytime they find him unless he pays for the cattle he poisoned.

        Journalist, when visited Igbanke Community on the 1st of April, 2025 discovered that Mr. Ehigie Sunday Daniel ran away from Nigeria because he was declared wanted for the killing of the cattle belonging to herdsman terrorizing his farm.

     According to a source who spoke to newsmen on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that for a very long time, Fulani herdsmen have been destroying Daniel's crops with their cattle. That Daniel has warned them several times to stay away from my farm but they refused. 

       The source said the Fulani Herdsmen claimed that they have settled the chief and elders of Igbanke Community and so their cattle can graze anywhere they wish to graze. 

     The source said that Daniel having seen all this happening to him, felt so bad because he can not imagine seeing what he laboured for with a huge amount of money being destroyed by the herdsmen.

       According to the source, "There was one of the incidents where the Fulani Herdsmen attacked Daniel's father and his niece in the farm, and in their attempt to rape his niece his father disagreed by engaging in a serious fight with them and in the process, his father was over powered and one of the Fulani Herdsmen used the head of his gun to hit the old man head, he father collapsed and they succeeded in rapping his niece and before they could take his father to the hospital, he passed away. 

       "Also, there was another incident where Daniel's mother was kidnapped in the farm while she was weeding and they were actually forced to pay a ransom of three million Naira ( #3,000,000 ) before they could release her. Infact, Daniel and his family have faced a lot attacks in the hands of the Fulani Herdsmen. 

        "Since then Daniel's mother has not completely regained the trauma. So out of anger, Daniel decided to apply insecticide in his farm and crops. Eventually, it happened as he planned it such that the insecticides killed their cattle after grazing on the crops. I learnt that Daniel applied the chemical to kill the cattle for revenge so we cannot blame him.

      "The Fulani Herdsmen have made several attempts to kill Daniel and when he  knew they were very serious about it he had to run for his dear life.
