According to Channels TV, the Fulani herdsmen rearing the cows were said to have led them to a hill known as Oke-Owa, a groove, where the king of the community performs annual traditional rites.
A source in the community described the incident as the wrath of gods on herdsmen, who led their cows to the grove to desecrate the sacred place.
The herdsmen, who have occupied the top of the hill for five days were said to have been warned by the chiefs in the community to stay away from the hill before disaster struck.
