A group of women from the Uba-Oka Akoko community in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State staged a peaceful protest to condemn the incessant killings by suspected herdsmen in the area.

Their protest was sparked by the recent murder of a farmer, Sunday Ayeni, who was found brutally stabbed to death on his farm.

It was said that the incident occurred just days after Ayeni received monetary compensation for his farm, which was destroyed by cows allegedly belonging to herdsmen.

The women, who were half-naked and without head ties, marched to the palace of the traditional ruler of Oka Akoko, Oba Adebori Adeleye, chanting solidarity songs.

During the course, they accused the herdsmen of raping women on their farmlands and destroying their crops.

One Abigail Ojo, speaking on behalf of the protesting women, narrated their ordeal, stating that they had abandoned their farms due to fear of being attacked by the herdsmen.

The women called on security agencies to find lasting solutions to their problems and urged the government to take action.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command, SP Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, stated that police investigations had commenced on the killings and expressed hope that the perpetrators would soon be apprehended and brought to justice.
