Police in Ado-Ekiti arrest 2 rams for attacking woman

Just like humans, 2 rams have been arrested and detained by policemen in Ado-Ekiti for attacking and injuring a woman popularly called Iya Oyo.

According to a report by Leadership, 65-year-old Iya Oyo said she was on her way to a commercial bank in Okesa area with her son on Monday to withdraw some money when the rams went wild and gored her, fracturing her right thigh in the process.

The woman said she fell immediately after the attack and became unconscious only to wake up to find herself at the clinic where she regained consciousness. She was rushed by sympathisers and onlookers to a traditional orthopaedic clinic.

“We were walking on the walkway and saw the rams in front of us but not knowing what was on their mind. Immediately they sighted us coming, one of them rushed and hit me several times with its horns. Immediately, I fell but as I was struggling to get up, the second ram joined the first to attack me. Thank God that some people came and saved me from untimely death in the hands of these “mad rams,” the woman told Leadership.

Residents of the area also confirmed the incident and described the rams which are owned by a manager of a filling station in the area as “too notorious and always ready to attack people at sight.” The residents who spoke to Leadership said they have complained several times to the owner of the rams to tame them but to no avail.
