The Ondo State chapter of the TakeItBack Movement has strongly condemned the recent rise in insecurity across the state, calling on Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to take immediate action to protect lives and property.
In a statement signed by its state coordinator, Patrick Owolabi Otu, the group decried the alarming rate of violent attacks, kidnappings, and killings in various communities, describing the situation as a failure of the state government to maintain law and order.
The condemnation follows recent attacks on March 10, where suspected bandits unleashed terror on four communities in Akure North Local Government Area—Aba Alajido, Aba Sunday, Aba Pastor, and Ademeku. According to reports, at least 14 bodies were recovered from the attacks, though the state government has reportedly downplayed the incident.
Similarly, on March 7, a family of four was abducted from their home along the Old Owo-Ipele Road in Owo Local Government Area, further fueling concerns over the worsening security situation in the state.
"The people of Ondo State deserve better," the statement read. "The government has a duty to protect its citizens, but the rising wave of kidnappings and attacks shows a clear failure in this regard."
The movement urged Governor Aiyedatiwa to take decisive action, including the deployment of more security personnel to affected areas, engagement with local communities to address the root causes of insecurity, and ensuring that those responsible for these crimes are brought to justice.
The group also called on all Nigerians to speak out against the deteriorating security situation and demand urgent intervention.
"We must not remain silent in the face of this crisis. Together, we can demand a safer and more just society," the statement concluded.
