  • 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.”

Talking with our reporter, Yusuf’s senior sister, Muhibah, while requesting equity for her sibling, said he was en route to purchase food at an area locally when a wanderer slug from the NDLEA agents killed him.

“My sibling as a rule helps my dad at his working environment in Lagos. However, yesterday (Wednesday), he didn’t go to work. From everything I was said, he was en route to purchase food around 9.40pm when we got the data that he got hit by a slug terminated by the NDLEA agents. We need equity,” Muhibah said.

An occupant, who gave his name essentially as Olasunkanmi, while deploring the turn of events, scrutinized the agents for shooting unpredictably in a neighborhood, adding that the shots hit Yusuf’s head and Olomowewe’s chest.

He noticed that the casualties passed on the spot, adding that individuals locally had been incensed by the turn of events.

Olasunkanmi said, “We are not saying the NDLEA shouldn’t take care of their business, however for what reason will its agents shoot at any rate in a local location? The NDLEA agents attacked a medication nook locally around 10pm and began holding onto illegal medications which is all together.

“The agents were around 50 and the greater part of them were outfitted. While some wore the organization’s uniform, some of them wearing relaxed wear. Individuals managing in the medication business were maddened by the strike and began taking steps to raise hell.

Another occupant, who gave his name as Lukmon, said, “We are burnt out on the NDLEA’s issue in our area. For what reason will they be shooting imprudently in a private area? To work, it is normal that they would have an objective and they ought to have an arrangement for how they will capture the objective as opposed to shooting imprudently with the eventual result of killing two blameless people.

“It is inappropriate; they unexpectedly raged the region with firearms and began firing. Gafar Yusuf, 22, was killed on Imoru Road. We are now making plans to cover his body. We heard three individuals were killed during the attack yet what I can affirm to you for the present is the passing of two people.”

Video cuts possessing our reporter showed individuals running higgledy piggledy during the strike that made pressure locally.

In one of the video cuts, our journalist noticed occupants in the space crying tears as they encompassed the cadavers of the people in question.

He said, “Our men on Wednesday night went to Mushin to capture the noble behind shipments of medications that have been coming from Ghana.

“After the capture of a portion of the needed suspects and recuperation of medications and their vehicles, our men went under assault from their young men who had locked all the leave doors locally and our officials needed to shield themselves to emerge from the area alive.”
