An Ogun State indigene, Pastor Kunle Garb has been arrested by policemen from Benin Republic, who stormed Igbokofi, a border community in Ogun State over boundary disputes.
DAILY POST gathered that the activist was arrested over his involvement in preventing the unlawful takeover of Nigerian lands in Yewa North Local Government by the Beninoise government.
But, the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, on Friday appealed to the Federal Government to immediately secure the man, who he said is “currently languishing in detention in Benin Republic.”
According to Abiodun, Garb was abducted at the village market, last week by gendarmes (Beninoise Police) who he claimed crossed illegally into the Nigerian territory to carry out the daring act, after they have succeeded in scaring away traders and Nigerians at the market.
