In a statement released by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebojele Akhere Patrick, the administration described the incident as tragic, regrettable, and unacceptable. The statement emphasized that the attack would not weaken the state’s determination to intensify efforts against kidnapping and other criminal activities.
The government noted that the act appeared designed to undermine ongoing security initiatives in Edo State. While extending condolences to the family of the deceased, the administration assured the public that those responsible would be apprehended and face the full force of the law.
“The threat of kidnapping remains a pressing concern that has received our full attention,” the statement said. “Our interventions and security strategies have significantly mitigated what could have otherwise been a more alarming situation. The Okpebholo administration remains committed to addressing all security challenges, as evidenced by a peaceful and crime-free yuletide celebration.”
Ahead of the festive season, the state’s Operation Rescue team conducted extensive security operations across Auchi, Agenebode, Okpella, Fugar, and Owan areas. The exercise successfully uncovered kidnappers’ hideouts, led to multiple arrests, and in some instances, resulted in the elimination of suspects during armed engagements. The statement stressed that these efforts demonstrate the government’s unwavering commitment to eradicating kidnapping and ensuring the safety of residents.
The administration called on Edo residents to cooperate by sharing intelligence and remaining vigilant. “Security is a shared responsibility. While the government is taking strong measures, public cooperation is essential. We urge citizens to report any suspicious activity immediately to law enforcement agencies,” the statement concluded.

FROM BEHIND BARS! Uwazuruike Drops Bombshell: Nnamdi Kanu Is Recruiting Igbo Youth For Violence From Prison!.
Ralph Uwazuruike, an agitator for the Biafran nation, has accused Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), of continuing to recruit Igbo youths for violent activities from his prison cell in Sokoto. Uwazuruike claims that this ongoing recruitment is directly responsible for the deaths of many young people.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Call to Action: He urged Igbo leaders and the pan-Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to travel to Sokoto to demand that Kanu cease his recruitment efforts.
-
Opposition to Violence: Uwazuruike emphasized his own aversion to violence and questioned how someone serving a life sentence for terrorism can continue to mobilize youths for such causes.
-
Advocacy for Amnesty: He questioned why IPOB members cannot renounce violence and seek government amnesty and rehabilitation, similar to the programs offered to repentant terrorists and bandits in northern Nigeria.
-
Context of Allegations: Uwazuruike’s comments appear to be prompted by recent social media videos featuring hooded, armed militants who claim loyalty to Kanu and threaten further violence in the South East to secure his release.

Pattern of Violence: MACBAN noted that this incident follows a recent attack on the deceased’s son, a lawyer, in a village last week, further supporting the need for a thorough and transparent investigation.

Broader Impact: The association emphasized that targeting community leaders and peace advocates actively sabotages efforts toward dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
