Obaseki ready to go hard on thugs and violence perpetrators

Ahead of the September 19 governorship election, Godwin Obaseki, the Edo State Governor, has read the riot act to political thugs and other perpetrators of violence.

He reiterated that his administration will remain committed to the protection of lives and property of citizens across all communities of the state.

The governor who spoke with journalists in Benin City, warned those with intent to disrupt public peace, that he was determined to carry out his primary responsibility of maintaining order and protecting lives and property as the chief security officer of the state.

He said that the state government would not spare any individual or group of persons caught sponsoring or perpetrating violence with the intent of creating tension and crisis anywhere in the state.

He said,

“With heightened political activities, we are witnessing a very disturbing increase in the incidence of violence, vandalism, and thuggery in the state.

I condemn in very strong terms the display by thugs at the gate of the palace of the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin on the 25th of July, 2020. It was reprehensible and an embarrassment to the state.”
