Take-It-Back Movement Gives Ekiti Government 48 Hours To Rescue Eda Oniyo Residents Abducted By Terrorists

Failure by the state to act within this window will trigger massive, coordinated public demonstrations across the state, the TIB said on Saturday.

The Take-It-Back Movement has issued a stern warning to the Ekiti State government, giving authorities until June 8, 2026, to secure the safe release of the 16 worshippers kidnapped from Eda Oniyo.

Failure by the state to act within this window will trigger massive, coordinated public demonstrations across the state, the TIB said on Saturday.

In a bold declaration, the organisers made it clear that state-sponsored intimidation or security pushback would not deter their plans to hit the streets, emphasizing that the government still has a narrow window of time to do the right thing under the banner of #EndInsecurityNow.

The brewing standoff stems from a tragic security breach that occurred on April 28, 2026, in Eda Oniyo, a border town serving as the headquarters of the Ilejemeje Local Government Area in Ekiti State.
