It was learnt that Adeleye, a roadside vulcanizer in Ayedun Quarters, and some car wash owners had warned the herdsmen to stop grazing their cows in their business premises and littering the place with dung, but the herdsmen remained adamant.
On the day of the incident, sources said Adeleye angrily chased the cows out of the premises.
An eye witness, Mr. Ajayi Olorunlogbon, said the herdsman came back when many people had left the premises and cut off Adeleye’s hand with a sword.
Adeleye, who is on admission at a private hospital in Akure, said: “The herdsman moved stealthily towards me and drew out his sword with the intention to behead me. I raised up my hand to protect my head, but had my hand chopped off.”
