Edo State APC Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, has made a serious call to action, urging the police and security agency, DSS, to investigate and arrest PDP leaders and supporters allegedly behind a string of kidnappings in the state. Tenebe claims that those responsible for the kidnappings are linked to individuals who killed a policeman during the campaign.
According to Tenebe, since leaving office, PDP leaders have resorted to kidnapping as a means to make money, using arms bought for them by the state government to make the state ungovernable. This development comes amidst heightened political tensions in Edo State following the recent governorship election.
The accusations made by Tenebe are quite serious, and it’s essential to note that the PDP has denied these allegations. However, Tenebe’s concerns about the rise in kidnappings and the potential link to PDP leaders warrant a thorough investigation.
It’s worth noting that Tenebe has been a vocal critic of the PDP, and his accusations have sparked a heated response from the opposition party. The PDP has accused Tenebe of leading an invasion of their secretariat in Benin City, which resulted in the assault of their chairman, Anthony Aziegbemin.
Tenebe’s accusations against the PDP are not limited to the kidnappings. He has also called for the arrest and prosecution of PDP candidate Asue Ighodalo for allegedly forging his voter’s card.
Ultimately, the people of Edo State deserve a safe and secure environment, free from the threat of kidnappings and violence. It’s up to the authorities to take decisive action and address the situation promptly.
