Residents and youths in Ekpoma, Edo State, have staged a protest against the escalating wave of kidn+ppings in the area, particularly around Ambrose Alli University (AAU) and nearby communities.

The protest comes after a series of security incidents, including a student-led demonstration earlier this week and actions by doctors in Auchi following similar abd¥ctions and k+llings.
Tensions remain high after the January 1 kidn+pping of two brothers one a recent medical graduate from AAU who were targeted by kidn+ppers. Tragically, one brother was k+lled despite ransom negotiations, while the other is still being held captive.
