Capt Hosa Mobilising Cultists Against Edo – Obaseki

The Edo State Government on Monday accused the Chairman of Ocean Marine Solutions Limited (OMSL), Capt. Hosa Wells Okunbo, of commissioning cultists in Edo State to commence attacks on innocent people across the state to create an atmosphere of fear in the state.

Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie in a statement said:

“The Edo State Government has received security reports about the outcome of a nocturnal meeting between Capt. Hosa Okunbo and some cultists in Benin City, held on Sunday night.”

He explained that “one of the conclusions reached at the meeting is that the cultists should commence violent attacks on innocent people across the state to create tension and a sense of insecurity in the state.”

Osagie maintained that “The state government has communicated its position to the relevant security agencies in the state to thwart Okunbo’s devilish plot.”

Noting the accusation raised against Okunbo by the managing director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman of arranging an attack against her, Osagie said:

 “It is the same thing that is playing out in Edo State now. Okunbo has paid cultists to cause mayhem in the state. However, we have confidence in God and the various organs of government to check his excesses,” Osagie added.

Capt. Okunbo, one of Nigeria’s richest men is a major stakeholder in Edo State and has been alleged to be backing the aspiration of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate in the forthcoming election in the state.
