Residents of Eruku in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State on Wednesday blocked the Kwara–Kogi highway in anger after a fresh terrorist attack claimed lives and abducted worshippers.
From as early as 6am, aggrieved youths barricaded the major road with logs, planks, tyres, and other objects, leaving many vehicles stranded on both sides of the interstate route. Motorists were forced to wait for hours as protesters insisted they would not leave until authorities addressed the worsening insecurity.
The demonstrators said the blockade was a desperate attempt to draw attention to the constant attacks that have made Eruku and nearby communities easy targets for terrorists.
The latest incident occurred on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, when gunmen invaded the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) during a worship session, killing at least three members and abducting several others.
