Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has expressed displeasure over the protest embarked upon by residents of some communities in Akure North Local Government Area of the state over the security challenges in the axis.

While admonishing community leaders and traditional rulers to rein in their youths engaging in criminal activities, Aiyedatiwa stressed that such protests could easily be hijacked by hoodlums.

Residents, particularly youths of Ilu-Abo and other neighbouring communities, had on Tuesday barricaded the busy Akure-Owo highway with the corpse of a middle-aged man killed by suspected kidnappers in the early hours of Tuesday.

The youth, who were infuriated by the spate of insecurity within the axis, accused the government of continued silence over the situation despite repeated calls for intervention.

During the meeting, Aiyedatiwa maintained that the youths had initially agreed to suspend the protest after security agencies intervened, but the demonstration was later taken over by unknown persons.
