Abioro Worries Over Incessant Harassment Of Border Communities By Security Operatives

Chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Hon. Damilare Abioro, has decried the incessant harassment of people living in border communities by security agents, especially in Yewa axis of Ogun State.

According to him, the operatives of the various security agencies are allegedly making life difficult and unbearable for the residents of the affected areas.

Abioro, in a statement, expressed concerns over the harsh treatment being melted out to the residents of border communities, describing it as worrisome and alarming.

The Agosasa-born politician explained that the security operatives are treating the residents like they are foreigners and not Nigerians.

The Chief Executive Officer of Dardolips Information Global Technology added that the hostile relationship had resulted into the injury and killing of innocent souls, as well as disruptions of commercial activities in the border area.

“The attitudes of all security agents and the manner in which they are treating our people is very appalling and crude. They treat our people living in the community as if they are foreigners and not Nigerians. 

"People can no longer walk freely while businessmen and women, especially the visitors who are not Indigenes of this area don’t like coming to our border communities because of the way and manner these security agents treat them. They use power over our people as if they are in a lawless nation.”

"We face a lot of hardships in our land, the ill-treatment of our people is in addition to the difficulties being faced by the people following the ban on fuel supply to border communities and the duplication of checkpoints and roadblocks along the highway as well as the high-handedness of camp boys standing at these roadblocks.

Abioro, however, called on the government at all levels to quickly address these issues and make border residents feel like other citizens in other part of the country.
