Edo APC Wants PDP Leaders Quizzed Over Increased Kidnappings

The chairman of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC Emperor Jarret Tenebe, has called on the police and security agencies to investigate and arrest leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who he alleged as being behind the string of kidnapping in the state.

Tenebe said that those responsible for the kidnappings were linked to individuals who killed a policeman during the governorship campaigns.

In a statement obtained by GWG.ng Tenebe said that since leaving office in Edo State that PDP leaders had resorted to kidnapping as a means of making money and using arms he claimed were bought for them by the immediate-past administration of Governor  Godwin  Obaseki to make the state ungovernable. 

“I am calling on the Commissioner of Police in the State, heads of other security agencies and stakeholders, to immediately arrest these leaders of the PDP. We have on good authority that they are behind recent cases of kidnappings. 

“An investigation by security agencies will confirm my claims. All the arms they purchased during the last elections are there and they are using them to make the State ungovernable for Governor Okpebholo. 

“As a party, we will not fold our hands and watch an irresponsible party destroy the State. We will support the security agencies in fishing out these criminals and ensure that Edo State is safe for everyone.”

The PDP is yet to respond to the development as a message sent to a top official of the party was yet to receive a response at press time.
