Ondo State Farmers, forest guards, and the members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) have stormed the road to protest against the incessant abduction allegedly by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen.
The protesters said they are in agreement with the order of the Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who has asked herdsmen to move out from all the forest reserves in the state.
The protesters, who were armed with placards with various inscriptions, said if the current state of insecurity was not quickly checked, it might lead to chaos and famine in the state

Recall that Akeredolu had given order in a statement issued on his official Twitter handle on Monday, stating that the forests have been turned into a place for felons to carry out their criminal activities.
He said, “All Forest Reserves in the state are to be vacated by herdsmen within the next 7 days with effect from today, Monday 18th January 2021.
“Night-grazing is banned with immediate effect because most farm destruction takes place at night.
“Movement of cattle within cities and highways is prohibited.
“Under-aged grazing of cattle is outlawed.
“Our resolution to guarantee the safety of lives and property within the state shall remain utmost as security agencies have been directed to enforce the ban.
“In its usual magnanimity, our administration will give a grace period of seven days for those who wish to carry on with their cattle-rearing business to register with appropriate authorities.”
