Benin Republic Invades Nigerian Villages, Hoists Their Flag

I wonder why these small countries around are always trying to challenge Nigeria. The neighbouring Benin Republic is said to have invaded 16 villages in Okuta, the border town in Baruten local government area of Kwara state, causing serious fear and palpable tension in the affected communities.



‎In their shrewd determination to annex the Nigerian villages, Vanguard reliably gathered that authorities of Benin Republic have gone ahead to construct Gerdarmes Office (Police station) in the Nigerian villages and communities and also hoist the country flag with impunity.

Checks by Vanguard revealed that the development negated the boundary delimitation of 1914 between the then British colonial masters and France, which the two countries had respected.


The affected Nigeria villages invaded by the Benin Republic include‎ Ogomne, Bwin, Gandasunon, Kpuru and Woru Wuren Kparu.

Others are Ajuba,1, Ajuba 2, Saka Yeruman Kparu, Monta, Dotin Kparu, Halidun Kparu, Yakubun Kparu, Sonsi,Gunosani, Alhaji Kparu,Yodo Mankparu and Simen Kparu.

Expecting more details...
