Political Turmoil in Edo State: Arrest of Ebo Stone, Kabaka vs. Shabba Feud, and Local Government Crisis Deepen Tensions

Edo State has recently experienced a series of events that have heightened political tensions and raised concerns about governance and public safety. From the arrest of key figures to internal political disputes, the state’s stability is being put to the test.

Arrest of Kelly Okungbowa (a.k.a. Ebo Stone)

On March 17, 2025, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Kelly Okungbowa, popularly known as Ebo Stone, for alleged naira abuse. Okungbowa, who until recently served as the coordinator of the Edo State Public Safety Response Team (PSRT) before his suspension by the state government, was apprehended following a viral video where he was seen spraying and mutilating the naira at a bar on March 9, 2025. The EFCC stated that he will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations.

Alleged Arrest of Hon. Shabba

Reports have emerged that Hon. Shabba, a key figure in the Edo motor park operations, has allegedly been arrested. However, details surrounding his arrest remain unclear as official sources have yet to confirm the circumstances and reasons behind it. The lack of information has fueled speculations, adding to the already tense political atmosphere in the state.

Conflict Between Tony Kabaka and Shabba

The state has also witnessed escalating tensions between prominent figures Tony Adun, known as Tony Kabaka, and Hon. Shabba, both of whom have significant influence in Edo’s transport and motor park sectors. Their conflict has reportedly led to internal disputes within the All Progressives Congress (APC), raising concerns about the party’s stability in the region. Supporters on both sides have taken to social media to express their opinions, further deepening the divide.

Tony Kabaka’s Withdrawal from Assignments

In a recent development, Tony Kabaka announced his decision to withdraw from his assignments, citing unresolved issues that require the governor’s immediate attention. He expressed dismay over violent incidents affecting bus drivers, highlighting the need for urgent intervention to address the escalating tensions and ensure public safety. His withdrawal has raised questions about the state government’s ability to manage key stakeholders in the transport sector effectively.

Historical Context: The Kabaka Crisis

The term “Kabaka crisis” historically refers to a political and constitutional crisis in the Uganda Protectorate between 1953 and 1955, involving the then-Kabaka (king) Mutesa II. While not directly related to the current events in Edo State, understanding such historical contexts underscores the complexities that can arise in political leadership disputes, especially when powerful individuals and groups vie for control.

Conclusion

The recent developments in Edo State reflect underlying challenges in governance, political party dynamics, and public safety. The alleged arrests, political rivalries, and increasing tensions among key figures demonstrate the need for urgent dialogue and intervention. Addressing these issues requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders, including the state government, security agencies, and political leaders, to ensure stability and protect the well-being of Edo residents.
