Many angry women from Oke-Ere in the Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State came out on Wednesday, 9th April to protest what they called the “endless reign of terror” in their community.
The women, many of whom are elderly, marched through the town with sad chants in their local languages.
In a viral video sighted online on Wednesday, they appeared half-naked, holding sticks and leaves as they cried and sang about the constant attacks, kidnappings, and killings happening around them.
They pleaded with the government and security forces to look into the siruquickly and stop the violence.
This protest took place a little while after armed men abducted three people and injured four others along the Ayere-Kabba Expressway in March.
The injured victims were taken to St. John’s Hospital in Kabba for treatment.
