On February 9th, blog site, CCVTNEWSREPORTERS20<\/a> published a picture of a boy with his neck almost cut off with the headline \u201cEye witness video of small boy butchered by Fulani herdsmen on his way back from school\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the picture is a link they claimed leads to the eye witness video of the boy being killed. The picture has over 60 comments underneath but with unknown tags replacing names of individuals commenting on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon conducting a reverse image search, Dubawa found a host<\/a> of sites<\/a> which corroborated the claim. However, like the original claim, the sites lacked sufficient detail; all claiming to have a link to a video which never loads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reports say the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident to journalists. According to him, the suspect, Lekan Adebisi, broke into the compound of St. John Anglican School Agodo and hacked two pupils to death with a cutlass. The police subsequently apprehended the assailant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the Police maimed the suspect with a gunshot wound to the leg after an attack from the assailant. Afterwards, the authorities transferred the case to the Homicide section of State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for proper investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case is not related to Fulani herdsmen as this blog claims. According to reports, a mentally deranged man was responsible. More so, Ogun was the location of the incident, not some “Igbo land”. Further, none of the site purporting this claim had any sufficient detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
