  • The Edo State Government has debunked claims by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) alleging that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved N6 billion as compensation to so-called “Fulani terrorists” following the recent Uromi killings. In a strongly-worded statement on Thursday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Fred Itua, described the accusation as a reckless falsehood designed to incite ethnic conflict and destabilise the peace of Edo State. The controversy stems from the events of 28 March, when sixteen hunters from Kano State were killed in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi. In the aftermath, Governor Okpebholo visited Kano to sympathise with the families of the victims and appeal for calm, while a delegation from Kano later travelled to Edo to engage in peace discussions. IPOB, in a statement released on 21 April, alleged that the Governor had secretly approved a N6 billion compensation package to appease the bereaved families a claim which the Edo State Government swiftly dismissed as baseless and inflammatory. “There is no truth whatsoever in the claim that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved or paid N6 billion to any group,” Itua said. “This is a fictitious and malicious lie concocted by IPOB to sow seeds of discord and destabilise the harmony we have nurtured in Edo State.” The government warned that IPOB’s repeated attempts to manipulate public sentiment and incite ethnic hostility under the cover of activism would not succeed in Edo State. “It has become a known tactic of this proscribed group to exploit tragic situations to spread hate and misinformation,” the statement added. “Their agenda of violence and ethnic disintegration has no place here.” Emphasising its commitment to unity, security and justice for all residents, the Edo State Government reaffirmed its stance against any form of ethnic or religious discrimination. The statement also urged security agencies to investigate the source of the inciting publication and prosecute those behind it, stressing that public order and peace must not be jeopardised by dangerous propaganda. “We remain resolute in our commitment to justice, peace and the protection of all Edo people, regardless of background,” the government declared. “We will continue to uphold the values of unity, tolerance and truth in the face of reckless attempts to destabilise our state.”

The Executive Chairman of Egor Local Government Council, Rt. Hon. Osaro Osa Eribo JP, has paid a sympathy visit to the burnt Oluku Market following the devastating inferno that razed the market last week, leaving traders and other affected persons in a state of grief and uncertainty.

The visit was aimed at identifying with the victims of the unfortunate incident, expressing solidarity with the affected community, and demonstrating concern for those whose livelihoods have been disrupted by the disaster.

The Egor Council Chairman was accompanied by representatives of Edo Geographic Information Service (Edo GIS) , who were on a working visit. During the visit, they met with his colleague and brother, the Executive Chairman of Ovia North East Local Government Council, Hon. Orobosa Eriamiatoe Christopher to commiserate with him and the people affected by the unfortunate incident.

Rt. Hon. Eribo expressed sadness over the destruction caused by the inferno, noting that the loss of lives, market facilities and goods represents a significant setback for traders and families who depend on the market for their daily livelihood. He stressed the importance of solidarity, compassion and collective support in moments of distress such as this.

The Chairman also had a conversation with Chief John Osamede Adun, popularly known as Bob Izua, who was directly affected by the incident. During their interaction, Eribo expressed his sympathy and concern over the losses suffered, offering words of encouragement in the face of the difficult situation.

As affected traders and stakeholders begin to confront the aftermath of the disaster, the thoughts and prayers of the visiting Chairman remain with all those who suffered losses in the inferno.

Rt. Hon. Osaro Osa Eribo reaffirmed the importance of empathy, unity and mutual support in helping affected individuals and communities navigate the difficult period and work towards recovery.
