Terrorists killed an unidentified woman in Ekiti seven days after her abduction as residents recovered her lifeless body on Friday.
Residents of Irele community in Ikole Local Government Area rushed to the scene along the Irele/Oke-Ako Road, where they discovered the lifeless body.
They lifted the remains into the back of a van and drove them away while scores of sympathizers wailed in grief and fury.
Furthermore, the Irele/Oke-Ako axis sits on the volatile border with Ogbe in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State, a zone long plagued by abductions and attacks.
In a video circulating from the recovery effort, a male resident captured the community’s raw anger and directly confronted local security failures. “You can see what is happening here.
This is one of the women kidnapped along Irele; the woman they shot,” he said.
“The residents went to pick up her body. She was kidnapped seven days ago.”
He continued without pause, “Irele people, can you see? Your soldiers who are in Oke-Ako are doing nothing.
There is nothing the government wants to do to help us.
Until we take drastic steps and actions by ourselves… You can see what is happening to our people.
Other victims are still held captive by the terrorists.
All the soldiers are just coming to the city to sit and do nothing.”
Additionally, the killing highlights the relentless advance of terrorist violence across Ekiti’s border regions.
Residents now demand urgent intervention before more lives vanish into the forests that terrorists control with impunity.
As outrage spreads, the community vows to protect itself if authorities continue to ignore their pleas.
This latest horror leaves Irele reeling and the entire state on edge.
