There may be stress in Ondo State as protesters have shut the Governor’s Workplace at Alagbaka, Akure, the state capital, over the killing of 5 farmers by armed herdsmen.
The tragedy comes every week after 4 communities in Akure North Native Authorities Space of the state had been attacked by some armed males suspected to be bandits resulting in the demise of over 20 individuals, in addition to the kidnapping of 9 surveyors in Ilu-Abo, in Akure.
Within the newest incident, it was learnt that the farmers had been allegedly shot lifeless in one other invasion by armed herdsmen at Aba Oyinbo space in Akure North Native Authorities Space of the state.
Angered by the unlucky incident, the protesters stormed the Governor’s Workplace and displayed the corpses of the farmers following the invasion.
They chanted solidarity songs calling on the governor to do the needful.
Nonetheless, operatives of the police and the State Safety Community Company codenamed Amotekun supplied safety at strategic places within the state capital to keep away from a breakdown of regulation and order.
In the meantime, UGAMA TV gathered that commuters and motorist on Akure/Owo/Benin Highway are at present stranded as protesters in Ogbese have barricaded the highway in protest in opposition to the continued killings within the state.
