The Edo State federal government has actually required the arrest and prosecution of renewed Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu following his supposed participation in a violent event at the Benin Airport on Thursday, which led to the death of an authorities inspector.
Philip Shaibu, who had actually simply returned from Abuja on a chartered flight following a court judgment restoring him as deputy guv, was accompanied by the APC governorship prospect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and a group of fans.
Upon his arrival, shooters apparently opened fire on the crowd along Airport Road, leading to the death of Inspector Akor Onu, an authorities organized designated to Senator Okpebholo.

Dealing with journalism today, the State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, held Shaibu and the APC accountable for the chaos.
Nehikhare required a federal examination to identify the reason for the shooting and the scenarios surrounding the policeman's death.
He declared that the opposition celebration planned to draw federal attention and produce an impression of anarchy in the state.
“Shaibu got judgment and flew into Benin with his pals and before getting in Benin, he set in motion armed criminals to await him at the Benin Airport.
“And on arrival, they released trouble on the innocent individuals of Edo state, leading to the death of a policeman and injuries to numerous others,” Nehikhare mentioned.
He even more declared that the state commissioner of cops had intelligence about the capacity for violence and warned Shaibu versus enabling his fans to put together, suggestions which Shaibu apparently disregarded.
Nehikhare discussed that the state federal government had actually appealed the judgment restoring Shaibu and had actually submitted a stay of execution.
“The CP must be detaining him because, as it stands today, he is not the deputy guv and has no resistance. We are contacting the Federal federal government and the Inspector-General of Police to check out the crisis.
“The entire thing occurred in the existence of the commissioner of cops, and he is among the witnesses,” Nehikhare included.
