Mob Assaults Police Station After Farmer's Murder in Ondo
A mob attacked the Ala Divisional Police Headquarters in response to the murder of a farmer named Hassan, who was killed in the General Camp area. The incident was reported to the police on October 24, 2026.
DSP Abayomi Jimoh stated that police recovered Hassan's body, which had deep cuts, and his belongings were missing. Following the arrest of two suspects by the Ala Youth President on October 26, an angry crowd demanded their extrajudicial killing.
The youth president sought refuge at the police station, but the mob pursued and attacked the facility. Tactical teams were deployed, successfully rescuing the suspects around 1:45 a.m. on October 27.
However, the patrol team transporting the suspects to Akure was ambushed, resulting in gunshot injuries to two police officers. CP Felix Ohagwu condemned the mob action and warned against obstructing lawful police operations, assuring that those responsible would face legal consequences.
