Niger Republic invades Nigeria, pushes to take over towns

Bloom Gist, ILORIN  – Benin Republic has invaded sixteen villages in Okuta, the border town between Nigeria and Benin in Baruten local government area of Kwara state, causing serious fear and palpable tension in the affected communities.


‎In their desperation to incorporate the communites into their country, Bloom Gist gathered that authorities of Benin Republic have gone ahead to construct Gerdarmes Office(Police station) in the affected Nigerian communities and also hoist the country flag at the affected Nigeria villages.

This recent development, according to Bloom Gist records, is a move against the boundary delimitation of 1914 between Britain 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.
