Angry protesters have shut the Governor’s Office at Alagbaka, Akure, the Ondo state capital over the alleged killing of five farmers by armed herdsmen at Aba Oyinbo community in Akure North Local Government Area.
Blueprint learnt that assailants invaded the community in the early hours of Wednesday, opening fire on the victims.
The recent protest to the governor’s office was the second in the last few weeks following the surge in kidnappings in the state.
Twenty farmers were killed by suspected herdsmen in the same council area last week after they invaded and sacked four communities.
As of the time of filing this report, security operatives had been deployed to the protest scene to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
