The Akoko Youth Forum strongly condemns the gruesome and unfortunate killing of Mrs. Atere Rabiat, a peaceful farmer and indigene of Ajo Quarter in Uba Oka Community, who was reportedly attacked and murdered this afternoon while working on her farm.
This heinous act, allegedly carried out by suspected Fulani assailants, is a direct attack on the peace and safety of our people, a threat we can no longer tolerate.
It is deeply troubling that since the incident occurred and the Nigeria Police evacuated her body, no form of security presence has been deployed to the community. Our people are now left to live in fear, without assurance of protection or justice.
We therefore call on:
• The Government of Ondo State
• The Nigeria Police Force, Ondo State Command
• The Ondo State Security Network (Amotekun Corps)
• Traditional rulers and relevant local authorities
• All well-meaning stakeholders
…to act swiftly and decisively to ensure:
1. The perpetrators are tracked, arrested, and brought to justice.
2. Adequate security is restored to Uba Oka and other vulnerable Akoko communities.
3. Concrete measures are taken to prevent future occurrences.
The Akoko Youth Forum will not stand idle while our people are subjected to fear, violence, and bloodshed. We demand immediate intervention, justice for the victim, and firm security action from the authorities.
Enough is enough!
