There was heavy protest in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Thursday as commercial drivers, members of the Nigeria Forest Services known as Forest guards, farmers and traders stormed
the streets protesting in support of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu order to herdsmen to vacate forest reserves in the state within seven days.The
protesters carried placards urging the Ondo Governor not to back down on his
directive.
Chairman of
the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Comrade Jacob Adejo, said
commercial drivers were no longer safe in the state.
Adejo said
his members need protection as herders attacked them with impunity as well as
kidnapped them before now.
