Obaseki Not Behind Alleged Arrest of APC Members – Osagie

By Simeon OSAJIE

Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie has said that the State Governor is not behind the alleged arrest of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

According to Crusoe, "The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has nothing to do with the alleged arrest of APC members in the state. The Police is an independent institution with a clear mandate to ensure the security of life and property in the country.

“The police is controlled by the Inspector General of Police in Abuja and it is wrong for the APC to accuse the Edo State Governor who is still relishing the victory given to him by Edo voters in the September 19 gubernatorial election, of ordering the arrest of its member.”
