Speaking further, he said, in a statement released on his return from Niamey, Niger Republic on National assignment on March 14, 2020, “I have responded to the chaos in Imasayi by speaking to the Governor, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, who was firmly briefed and gave assurances that the situation is under control, as he has gotten commitments from the military and Nigeria Customs officers on ground.
The Ogun West Senator said he had written letters to the Comptroller General of Customs, Col Hameed Ibrahim Ali and even visited Idiroko, where he met with the community and the State Comptroller of Customs to address the killings and other border issues.
