They said 10am this morning. I could not go back yesterday because we were still having another meeting in Benin. So I had to pass the night here in Benin.
“Getting back this morning, I got prepared and parked my pathfinder jeep somewhere. Coming in, I saw people chasing me out saying I should not come into the house. I asked what is happening?  This a meeting. They called that the whole ward chairmen should assemble here today by 10. Before I could know it, they have started beating me. They tore my clothes, collected one of my phones, took two hundred thousand from the back of my pocket. I do not tell lies as you can see. It was after much investigation that they returned the money,” he lamented in pains.
