Former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo has vowed that those who burnt down his farmland will surely be fished out and punished accordingly.
According to a report made available to 9News Nigeria, Obasanjo condemned the burning of his 2,420 hectares of farmland at Howe in Aliade area of Gwer East Local Government of Benue State last weekend.
The former President and former military leader who is 84 years old now described the incident as a bad development, noting that the arsonist will be fished out by security agents and punished accordingly.
The ex-president had acquired about 2,420 hectares of farmland in the community, where he planted fruits such as mango and orange.
Some indigenes, who claimed they were not compensated for the land, had allegedly set the farm on fire, beat up and robbed the firefighters deployed in the area to put out the fire.
