Hundreds of women across four local government areas in Ondo State staged protests on Saturday, against the spate of insecurity in the area. It was gathered that the peaceful protests were staged in Oka Akoko, Akungba Akoko and some other Akoko towns. 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.
