This
he stated in a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, alleging
that some suspected herdsmen invaded his farm, Wanogan Farms Limited,
located around the Masaka area of Nasarawa State, on Friday, February 1,
2019.
The
petition signed by one of his lawyers, Ogwu Onoja (SAN), Onnoghen urged
the police to investigate and provide security around his property.
The
letter read in part, “We have been reliably informed by our client that
some men who appear to be herdsmen were at the farm on Friday afternoon
and also later at night inquiring about the owner of the farm and
issued frightening threats to the farmhands working there.
“The
workers are now living in fear and consequently have stopped all
farming activities. The farm belonging to the family of the CJN is a
large commercial venture wherein veritable investments in time, labour
and financial resources have been committed.
“We
consider such a threat as an indication of imminent attack on the lives
and property on the farm and we implore you, in the discharge of your
constitutional duty as the number one police officer of the nation, to
deploy your men to secure the farm.”
