The more I try to be quiet about this, the more I realize people need to know what we are not talking about.
A church revival was attacked.
A pastor was killed.
Families were torn apart in minutes.
Among those taken were three siblings. Their mother, who had initially escaped by running away went back because her children were among those being taken.
A church member rushed to help the pastor after the attack.
He had an accident on the way too and by the time he regained consciousness, he was told his wife and 3 children had been abducted.
The man lost his leg!
Now, more than 40 days later, families are still waiting for answers.
Ekiti is dealing with serious security concerns that deserve more attention but you will never see the residents talk about it.
People were kidnapped in Eda Oniyo in Ilejemeje LGA more than a month ago, and things have not been normal since then, students go to school and close at the slightest rumor of bandit, nearby or faraway.
Hospitals close by 6pm and they specifically told someone that needed a surgery that they’ll have to leave her and the security man will be the only one with her in the hospital.
These are the kinds of stories that should remain in the public conversation until there are answers and lasting solutions.
But no! They will not talk!
