Women Protest Herders' Attacks

Women from the Simerin Uba, Ikanmu, and Oka communities in Akoko Southwest have protested half-naked against the repeated attacks by herders and the ongoing destruction of their farmlands. This protest followed the killing of a farmer in Uba, Mr Sunday Ayeni, last Sunday by suspected herders.

Villagers believe the herders are unhappy with the compensation paid to Ayeni for their previous crop destruction and are responsible. Witnesses reported that the partially nude women stormed the palace of Olubaka of Oka Akoko, Oba Adebori Adeleye, during a security meeting.

The women urged the monarch to ensure justice for Ayeni’s killers and to put an end to herders’ attacks in their communities, noting that many of them had been raped herders on their farms. Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Mrs Abigail Ojo expressed their fear of returning to their farms.

The monarch assured the women that relevant agencies would handle the situation.
