Residents of Idofian Community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State have appealed to the State Government and other stakeholders to assist in raising speed breakers on Ilorin-Omu-Aran federal highway in the state.

Making the appeal at a protest staged by some youths in Idofian on Sunday following the death of a 13-year-old Senior Secondary School student identified as Elizabeth Adigun on Saturday evening by a hit and run driver, the youth leader and the Community Secretary, Jimoh Abolarin, lamented that the community had lost many children to accidents in the last one year.
