APC Candidate Okpebholo Vows To Hunt Down Killers Of Police Orderly....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Senator Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the September 21, 2024, gubernatorial election in Edo State, has called for justice following the murder of his Police orderly, Inspector Akor Onu. The tragic incident occurred on Thursday in Benin City, perpetrated by suspected political thugs.
DAILY POST reports that Inspector Akor Onu was killed shortly after leaving Benin airport, having arrived from Abuja with Senator Okpebholo and the recently reinstated Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu. Shaibu, who had been impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly on March 8, 2024, was reinstated on July 17, 2024, by Justice Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The reinstatement has seemingly caused unrest, leading to the violent attack that resulted in Inspector Onu’s death.
In a condolence message, Okpebholo vowed to seek justice for the fallen officer and expressed his determination to ensure that the perpetrators of the attack are brought to justice. The statement, released by Godswill Inegbe, Legislative Aide to Senator Monday Okpebholo on Media & Communication, also conveyed empathy for the injured members of Okpebholo’s convoy, who are currently receiving treatment in various hospitals in Benin City.
Okpebholo expressed profound sadness over the incident and pledged not to rest until justice is served for Inspector Akor Onu. He described Onu as a dedicated and exemplary policeman, with whom he had shared a 12-year friendship due to Onu’s outstanding commitment to his duties.
The Senator assured Onu’s bereaved family that the case would not be overlooked and offered prayers for the repose of the officer’s soul and for the speedy recovery of the injured.

VIOLENCE MUST END! ALGON Takes Radical Step To Restore Peace By Banning Transport Unions Across Osun!.
The Osun State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has suspended the operations of all transport unions within public motor parks across the state. This measure was taken in response to a series of violent clashes between rival groups, which the association deemed necessary to maintain public order and protect residents.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Rationale for Suspension: The action follows repeated violent incidents involving factional disputes within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), which resulted in the death of a toddler and the shooting of an elderly man.
-
Safety Concerns: ALGON Vice Chairman, Lanre Balogun, noted that public motor parks had increasingly become unsafe for commuters and operators, turning into hideouts for criminals.
-
Immediate Directive: Effective immediately, all transport unions—including motorcycle and tricycle operators—are prohibited from activities in public motor parks across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Ife East Area Office in Modakeke.
-
Security Measures: ALGON has requested that security agencies take control of these facilities to restore peace and track down individuals involved in the violence, specifically calling for the arrest of NURTW factional leader Nurudeen Alowonle.
-
Legal Basis: Balogun explained that the decision is supported by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which grants local governments the authority to regulate motor parks and maintain public order. He emphasized that local government chairmen would not allow facilities under their control to become security threats, even if other authorities prioritize political considerations over safety.
The suspension will remain in effect until order is restored and public safety is ensured within the state’s transport sector.
