Recounting what happened, Sylvester said: “ It was
yesterday we got a message that we will be having a
meeting today in our party’s chairman’s house. So,
we said ok, what is the time? 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.
According to him, those who beat him up are from
Orhionmwon but he cannot identify anyone.
