ONDO: Women Protest Half-naked over Insecurity

Angry women in their hundreds, from the four local government of the Akoko extraction of Ondo state, have protested against the rising spate of insecurity in the area on Saturday.

The women, it was gathered, converged in Oka Akoko, Akungba Akoko and some other Akoko towns, for the peaceful protests.

The protests were said to have been 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.

Some of the protesters, who were holding brooms in their hands, were half-naked, chanting various solidarity songs along the streets.

They called on the security agents and the state government to come to the rescue of the area from the attack of the bandits.
