The Edo State Deputy Governor,
Philip Shaibu, has alleged that some unknown men are currently in Edo State to
assassinate some high-profile personalities in the state.
He stated this during a press
conference in Benin City, the capital of Edo State on Saturday.
The Deputy Governor said
President Muhammadu Buhari should rise to the occasion and call the security
agencies to “do their work ”
He said the state will not be a theatre of war if these things are dealt with.
“We have intelligence that some
individuals are in Edo state and their assignment is to come and assassinate
some known individuals in the state.
“So I am hereby bringing to the
notice of the general public that these people are in town and we’ve
communicated to the security agencies about their activities and why they are
in town.
“For us, we will continue to
appeal to our people not to look for trouble; not to disturb any program,”
adding that they are law-abiding and have a duty to protect lives and
properties.
Recall that Shaibu had recently
revealed that he fought for the former National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
He said it was the same way he
will fight for Godwin Obaseki, and that his loyalty to the Governor is
unwavering.
Shaibu stated this when he
addressed reporters on Thursday, according to Channels Television, revealing
how Oshiomhole wanted him to join the move to unseat Obaseki.
Shaibu had earlier alleged that
lawmakers have been mobilised to buy people’s votes during the upcoming
governorship election.
Shaibu, however, urged people of
the state to vote such lawmakers out, though he did not disclose their
identity.
