Obaseki orders arrest of Oshiomhole for mobilising thugs to allegedly attack banks, disrupt peace in the state

The Governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki, has ordered the arrest of his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole, for allegedly mobilising thugs to destroy bank properties and cause chaos in the state.

Speaking in a statement released by his commissioner for communication and orientation, Chris Nehikhare, on Wednesday, February 15, Obaseki said that this happenings are under the guise of protesting the new naira scarcity.

He said;

“We have been around the city all day, speaking with some of the protesters and we have done our investigations. We discovered that it is more than meets the eye.”

“At this juncture, we will like to call on security agencies to call Adams Oshiomhole for questioning. He should be arrested and made to account for his movement in the last few days especially here in Benin City.

“Oshiomhole deliberately instigated the protest of the people,” the commissioner said.

“I know people will think the protest is as a result of lack of naira notes but even if that is the case, Nigerians should know which political party is involved because it is ironic the political party that is responsible for this policy is the same party sending people to destroy PDP billboards,” the commissioner added.
