Mr Ayokunle Ore,a spokesperson for the group said that their farms had been under sustained attacks by kidnappers since September 2016 and urged the State Government to seek the support of the Federal Government to extend the mandate of the Joint Taskforce {JTF} to Igbodu/Isiwo axis of Epe to curtail the high rate of kidnapping in the area.While thanking the State Government for finding time to meet with them,he pleaded that the issue of kidnapping in the area needs to be handled as a matter of urgency as their investments have been going down the drain and their lives at risk.
In his words: ''With the desire to contribute our quota to national food security and sufficiency,we have invested our lifetime savings and borrowings from banks to establish farms in the agricultural belt.
