Angry protesters took to the streets of Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Tuesday, demanding urgent action over the abduction of nine surveyors at Owode Ilu-Abo in Akure South Local Government Area.
The victims, all indigenes of Akure, were reportedly on a job site when they were seized by armed men last week.
The demonstration, led by distraught relatives and concerned residents, saw placard-wielding women blocking the busy Oba Adesida Road, disrupting traffic as they called on security agencies to secure the release of the kidnapped workers.
