January 15, (THEWILL) – Women across four local government areas in Ondo State on Saturday staged peaceful protests against the worrisome insecurity in their communities.
The protests, staged in Oka Akoko, Akungba Akoko and some other Akoko towns, THEWILL learnt were triggered by the recent kidnap of teachers by some bandits in Auga Akoko; the killing of a police officer by unknown gunmen at Oka Akoko last week; and the attack on 17 travellers on Ifira Akoko-Isua Akoko road by armed robbers, among others.
Holding brooms in their hands, some of the protesters, who dressed half-naked, chanted solidarity songs
They called on the security agents and the state Government to rescue them from the rampaging bandits.
