…To be arraign in court on
Wednesday
Edo state Police command has
arrested three Ex- Militant Leaders around Benin-city with two AK47.
The three Ex- Militant leaders are
currently cooling their heads at the state criminal investigation department
inside the state Police headquarters and they will be Arraign in Court on
Wednesday.
Leader of group, Gen. Peres Ejuni
from Ofunama, decamped to People’s Democratic Party last week Thursday at home
ville hotel, Benin.
The Police, Department of state
Security services and the Edo state Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has
earlier raised issues of Security concern and importation of Militants into the
state.
Speaking to journalists Monday in
Benin, the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney general of Edo state,
Barrister Henry Idahagbon on the rumor that the Militants were arrested in his
hotel on Friday, he said the purpose of this fabrication is to obfuscate the
arrest of one their imported ‘Generals’ Gen. Peres Ejuni who was arrested with
two Ak47 assault Rifles and is currently with the police.
Idahagbon said all efforts made by
the PDP candidate; Pastor Osagie Ize-iyamu and his godfather, Chief Gabriel
Osawaru Igbinedion to get the general released from custody have proved
abortive.
The state Attorney general said the
police have remained resolute and ready to arraign him before the court on
Wednesday.
“My attention was drawn through
innumerable calls to a mischievous publication on the Facebook page of one
Ogbeide Ifaluyi Isibor to the effect that the DSS arrested 61 militants in my
motel. Some days ago the same fellow also caused to be published that I was
buying PVCs within the premises of the ministry of Justice.
“The PDP having failed woefully to
persuade Edo people to return to Egypt has resorted to spinning false stories
and marketing same online. We are daily been assailed by different fabricated
stories. If the deputy governor wasn’t engaged in a shouting match with the
governor, the commissioner for information, Hon Kassim Afegbua will be
endorsing one of their two candidates.
“For the avoidance, the story is
false and a figment of the warped imagination of the writer, no amount of false
propaganda against my person or other members of the APC will stop the
impending annihilation of the party in Edo state and the reduction to tunnels of
the over bloated political ego of their candidate.”
Contact to the state police command
in Benin confirmed the arrest.
