Protesting youths are currently blocking the ever busy Ikare – Owo highway chanting various songs.
The youths are said to be protesting incessant accidents on Akoko roads , the latest being yesterday’s accident in Akungba which reportedly claimed 16 lives.
The youths carried placards with inscriptions such as ” incessant motor accidents a danger to our existence ,” “untimely deaths too many in Akungba,” ” Akeredolu come to our aid ”
The protesters had earlier burnt down the trailer carrying bags of rice which caused yesterday’s accident while descending Okerigbo hill in Akungba.
Something serious needs to be done quickly to put a stop to this den of death.
We pray and hope government will swing into action soon. Thanks.
