Former drummer in kiwi band Yokel Ono , Glen Johnson , has been jailed in Yemen . He was detained having allegedly entered the country illegally. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has yet to make contact with him, resulting from fears regarding the political situation in Yemen.

Glen has been working in the Middle East for two years as a freelance journalist. His work has been published in such prominent papers as the New York Times . He was last known to be investigating a people smuggling ring and it appears he was arrested whilst heading for the country. Glen's family say they've been assured he hasn't been mistreated.
