The Senate on Wednesday urged the Federal Government to reparate displaced communities in Yewa area of Ogun State seeking refuge in Benin Republic.

Senator Ibikunle Amosun (APC, Ogun) said the Federal Government should not relent in its concerted effort to ensure that the security challenge is addressed.
