Protest in Benin city over continued detention of Rev. David Ugolor

By SaharaReporters, New York

The Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), a non-governmental organization based in Benin City, has called on the police to set free, unconditionally, its Executive Director, Rev. David Ugolor.

In a statement signed by Policy Officer Innocent Edemhanrhia, ANEEJ said that a media report credited to the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, that the police have good grounds for the continued detention of Rev. Ugolor was unfortunate, baseless and lacking in truth.
