Residents from Imafon, Igushin, and Ilado communities in Ondo State's Akure North Local Council Area protested in Akure, the state capital, on Saturday against rising insecurity. The demonstrators barricaded the ShopRite junction, near the governor’s office, to highlight frequent killings and kidnappings. One protester, Kunle, stated that a mother and daughter were killed two days prior, and another person was attacked on Friday. He criticized the government for not addressing the violence and the lack of security presence. Another protester, Sunday John, appealed to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and state security agencies, noting that residents are relocating due to fear and daily kidnappings. The protest follows an incident where a woman and her daughter were killed at a poultry farm in Egushi, and two others were kidnapped, though later rescued. DSP Abayomi Jimoh, Public Relations Officer for the state police command, confirmed ongoing efforts to apprehend the perpetrators and assured the public of increased security measures.
