The Edo State Government has condemned in the strongest terms the violence associated with the visit of Labour Party candidate, Mr. Olumide Akpata to University of Benin (UNIBEN) on Friday, April 12, 2024.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the State government condemned that violence in a statement released by Chris Osa Nehikhare, the State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation.
Claims and counterclaims have been made by Mr. Akpata and the Student Union Government (SUG) of UNIBEN in statements issued by both parties on April 13, and according to the State government, active investigation is ongoing on the issue.
“The Edo State Government, however, warns in the strongest terms that it will not tolerate violence or this sort of irresponsible behaviour which was associated with the visit of Mr. Akpata to the institution.
“Government has the primary responsibility to ensure the security of lives and property in the State and will spare no effort to ensure that anyone who breaches the peace, no matter how highly placed, will face the full weight of the law.
“We hereby call on all Edo people to go about their lawful businesses without let as relevant agencies progress with their investigation into the said matter,” the statement reads.
