The Federation of Ekiti State Students’ Union has decried the spate of killings and other violent crimes in the country, saying that enough is enough

In a statement issued by its National Senate President, Comrade Kolade Ifeoluwa, in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday, said that the government should without further delay do what was necessary to deal with insecurity in the country.The group was reacting to the killing of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, the 58-year-old daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, a leader of Afenifere, the Pan-Yoruba organisation, on Friday.

It asked the Southwest governors and the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, Gani Adams to stand up for the region before the situation would get out of hand.“We are being made to see the situation and having the impression that the government was incompetent, and saying with a bleeding heart that the problem is unacceptable to us and Nigerian students in general.

The group called on Southwest leaders, particularly the governors, to rise to the challenges of increasing insecurity in the region. “Our governors must realise that they shall be held responsible, individually and collectively, should they fail to prioritise and support one another in securing their people. The time to act is now.
