Women in Akoko Southwest local government area of Ondo state have protested incessant kidnapping and killings by suspected herdsmen in the area.

The protest came barely 24 hours after the killing of a 34-year-old farmer, Sunday Ayeni in the Uba-Oka Akoko, by suspected herdsmen.

The irate women who were half naked and without head ties stormed the palace of Olubaka of Oka Akoko, Oba Adebori Adeleye during a security meeting, to express their grievances.

Decked in various attires and chanting war songs the women decried the atrocities of the herdsmen in the area, condemning the ugly incident and demanding justice for the victim and putting an end to herdsmen attacks in the area.

According to the women, the suspected herdsmen raped some of the women on their farmlands and also destroyed their crops.

They vowed not to tolerate continued harassment, torture and Kidnapping for ransom by herdsmen in the area.

Speaking on behalf of the protesting women, Mrs Abigail Ojo while narrating their ordeals, said they had practically abandoned their farms.
