Scores of Students across all the tertiary institutions in Ondo State are protesting over the rising cases of kidnappings and other criminal activities in the state.

The protesting students, led by the NANS South West chairman, Oluwarotimi Joshua, carrying placards with different inscriptions, blocked major roads in Akure, the state capital, obstructing traffic as they called on the state Government and security agencies to be sincere in addressing various security challenges in the state.

The protesters also highlight the deteriorating conditions of tertiary institutions in the state, the lack of student-friendly policies, and the insecurity affecting students, particularly those undergoing the Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme.

Attempts by the state commissioner of police, Wilfred Afolabi to disperse the protesters and clear the roadblocks were met with resistance by the students.
