Residents of Lafiagi in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State have protested against what they described as worsening insecurity in their communities, including repeated cases of terrorism, kidnapping, and killings.
The protesters, predominantly youths from the area, took to the streets on Monday to voice frustration over what they termed government inaction in the face of continued violence.
The demonstrators were seen in a video clip chanting solidarity songs and waving placards.
They demanded urgent intervention to checkmate the bloodshed and abductions disrupting daily life.
The irate youths set fire to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, office in Lafiagi.
They equally damaged the palace of the Emir of Lafiagi, smashing windows and damaging parts of the building.
The protest was said to have been triggered by accumulated anger over persistent attacks and lack of effective response from local and state authorities.
