Protest Rocks Kwara Highway Leading to Ekiti Over Rising Crime

A major protest erupted this morning on the Oke Onigbin stretch of the federal highway leading to Ekiti State as residents expressed outrage over the Kwara State Government’s alleged failure to address escalating insecurity.

The highway was blocked by angry youths, leaving many travellers stranded and causing significant disruption.

Reports indicate kidnappings, killings, and ransom demands have become almost daily occurrences in the Eleyin area, with little visible response from security agencies.

Tensions rose further after a horrific incident where some victims were reportedly burnt to death in their vehicles overnight, sparking today’s demonstrations. The protesters are demanding urgent government intervention to restore safety and order along this crucial route. More details to follow.
