The Senator representing Ondo North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice has disclosed that he can no longer travel to his home town of Oka-Akoko in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State for fear of being kidnapped.<\/p>\n

Boroffice, who is the Deputy Majority Leader at the upper chamber of National Assembly revealed this while speaking to newsmen at the Akure home of Pa Reuben Fasoranti during a condolence visit over the death of the Afenifere Leader\u2019s daughter, Mrs Funke Olakunrin.<\/p>\n

The deceased was shot dead by suspected herdsmen on Friday, last week.<\/p>\n

While tasking the Buhari led All Progressive Congress, APC, to urgently address the menace, Boroffice stated that the issue of insecurity had become a daily discourse among senators during plenary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government which I\u2019m part of should find a solution to this problem, the ordinary people in Ondo State will still carry out their businesses, so you can\u2019t ask them not to go out, In the senate I belong to, we discuss this issue of insecurity on regular basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here in Akure now, I would have love to go to Oka, my hometown within my senatorial district but the fear is that how do I move from Akure to Oka because their is a spot near Oba where this people (kidnappers) are, so it concerns everybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not something that people feel unconcerned about, we are all concerned and I believe there is something going on on how to find a solution to this problem,\u201d he stated.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
