The All Progressives Congress, Edo chapter, said the killers of Inspector Akor Onuh are hiding in the State Government House.
Remember that Inspector Onuh was killed on July 18, 2024 by gunshot in the violence that occurred when Hon. Philip Shaibu was trying to execute an Abuja Federal High Court’s order for his reinstatement as Edo State Deputy governor.
The Peoples Democratic Party led-state government and the All Progressives Congress where the Deputy Governor has crossed over to, ahead of the September 21 governorship election, have been trading blames over the persons and party responsible for the officer’s murder.
In a statement by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Peter Uwadiae-Igbinigie, APC accused Governor Godwin Obaseki of harbouring the killers in Government House, and heating up the polity.
“It is disturbing that the governor of the state has been making inciting statements that bother on treasonable felony when it was obvious from the available evidence that members of his party allegedly shot and killed a serving police officer, Inspector Akor Onuh, in their desperate attempt to assassinate the governorship candidate of our party, Senator Monday Okpebholo.
“Those named in our petition to the Inspect General of Police are said to be having a haven in Government House under the brazen watch of the governor.
“We, therefore, use this medium to salute the police for their unwavering courage and profound determination to fish out those who are involved in this unholy crime to make the state safe for a free and fair election, come 21st of September, 2024,” the statement read in part.
