Alahuga of Ahuga Akokoland, Oba Samuel Agunloye, at the weekend, led leaders and representatives of the six communities in the town, on a courtesy visit to the Omole home of the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Gani Adams.

The six communities being represented at the meeting were Ahuga, Ikakukumo, Akunnu, Ise, Iboropa and Ugbe from Isowopo communities in Akoko, Ondo state.

The visit, according to the monarch, was to congratulate Adams on his new status as the Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, appreciate his support on the release of his wife by kidnappers, and seek better security in the town and its environs.

Agunloye said the spate of insecurity in Ahuga town and the adjourning communities is becoming unbearable to the people, saying the town needs continuous presence of security personnel across the communities.
