The Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers on Friday has called for the deployment of troops in the state following attacks and kidnap of royal fathers by gunmen.
The Chairman of the council and Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Alabi, made the call in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Friday.

The chairman stated the need to deploy troops to the state to support the police in flushing kidnappers and terrorists.
Ajibade described attacks and kidnap of royal fathers in the state as “embarrassing, worrisome and troubling’’.
He told the police to swing into action and rescue the traditional ruler of Ilemeso Ekiti, Oba David Oyewumi, who was kidnapped on Thursday night.
The traditional ruler appealed to residents of the various communities in the state to give useful information on suspicious persons and movements.
