One of the seven suspects, including the alleged mastermind, in connection with the attack on the Old Oyo National Park, has confessed that the group killed five forest rangers because they had arrested three Fulani herders earlier.
The attack, which occurred on January 6, 2026, was reportedly carried out by a 10-man armed banditry group to free their detained members.
