The House of Representatives in Nigeria has called on the Federal Government to take immediate action to bolster security in Ekiti North I Federal Constituency amid alarming increases in violent crimes such as kidnappings and killings. This resolution was reached after a motion of urgent public importance was introduced by House spokesman Akin Rotimi during a session led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas. The representatives expressed significant concern about the growing threats to community safety, citing that criminal activities have escalated in the area, particularly affecting vulnerable residents and travelers. The motion highlighted specific regions within the constituency, including Oke-Ako, Ipao, Irele, Itapaji, Iyemero, and Ijowa in Ikole Local Government Area, which have reportedly faced a series of violent attacks by armed individuals. Rotimi noted that the Oke-Ako/Ipao/Irele corridor has become a hotspot for kidnapping incidents, leading to widespread fear in local communities as rural inhabitants face the dire consequences of this instability. The representatives' plea underscores the critical need for government intervention in restoring security to these affected areas, emphasizing the importance of human safety and the safeguarding of livelihoods, particularly for farmers and local residents. The resolution marks a significant engagement from the legislative body in response to public safety concerns, urging decisive government measures to mitigate the threats and protect communities from increasing criminal activities.
