Half-naked women protest in Ekiti,for the freedom of their children.

Some angry women in Emure Ekiti have protested against the arrest of over 30 of their children.
The youths were reportedly arrested by the police in connection with the alleged attempt to burn the palace of Elemure of Emure Ekiti, Oba Emmanuel Adebayo, who’s a retired Assistant Inspector General of Poilce.
According to reports by Punch newspapers, the women, some of whom appeared half-naked, held leaves and sang hate songs against the monarch, demanding the release of their children.
It was reported that the brouhaha started last Monday, after a group of angry youths of the community trooped out to the streets to protest against power cut by the Benin Electricity Distribution Company, as well as the disruption of banking service from the only bank in the community for over seven months.
A resident of the town, Olaoye Olayinka, revealed that attempts made by Adebayo to stop the protest were rebuffed by the youths who blocked the two entry points to the town.
In the course of their protest, the youths were said to have attempted to burn the palace of the king and also attacked the police station, according to the Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu.
This, he said led to the arrest of the youths.
Meanwhile, Police spokesperson, Alberto Adeyemi, disclosed that those arrested had been released except five of them, who were sill under investigation.
