In the aftermath of the June 5th attack on Igangan, the Community has presented a list of properties and vehicles that were damaged to the Oyo state government.
According to the report, the community is seeking N193 million compensation to enable victims rebuild and repair their houses, shops, gas refilling station, vehicles and motorcycles, among others.
Over 70 properties, including houses, shops and gas refilling stations were destroyed and looted when unknown gunmen suspected to be criminal herders descended on the sleepy community on the night of June 5.
