Traditional rulers and residents of border communities in Ogun state on Thursday bemoaned their worsening plights with the closure of the borders, saying “the policy is killing” them.
Addressing a joint press conference in Abeokuta, the state capital, the leaders of the border communities under the aegis of Ogun West Consultative Forum and other Stakeholders, urged President Muhammed Buhari to review the border closure and bring respite to their plights. OWECOF’s spokesperson and a Professor of African Comparative History and Borderland Studies, Anthony Asiwaju alleged that the order, prohibiting petroleum movement by 20 kilometers to border communities has brought untold economic hardship to the innocent people living in the areas who have nothing to do with economic sabotage popularly referred to as smuggling.
“The regular suffering infrastructural deprivation and political marginalisation, the people of the territorial authorities and communities in border areas of Ogun state are now having to stand a wide range if human abuses,” he said.
