The people of Inikorogha, a community in Ovia South West Local Government Area of Edo State, speaking under the auspices of the community stakeholders led by its Chairman, Hon. Timisegha Robert; the Community PRO, Mr. Blesegha Okoh and the Youth President of the Community, Mr. Pereke Ukulor have given kudos to the member representing Ovia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, for bringing up the issue of insecurity as it relates to the community in a motion on the floor of the house recently.
The stakeholders praised Hon. Idahosa for his love and care for the people and also raised objection to the way and manner policemen believed to have been assigned to the locality by the state governor, Godwin Obaseki’s recommendation.
They accused the policemen of intimidating the people of the community they suspect of not aligning with the governor’s political inclination.
According to them, those that the police feel are not in Governor Obaseki’s camp are being hounded out of the community or arrested for flimsy reasons on a daily basis.
They appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Olukayode Egbetokun, to withdraw these set of policemen and replace them with those who will act neutral in the unfolding drama.
The community representatives believe that this move by the IGP will go a long way in addressing the insecurity issue and also create confidence in the people that the right thing is been done to resolve the political crisis.
