Edo governor changes gear; writes Police, DSS bosses to have Oshiomhole arrested

Nearly five days after Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State threatened to show All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman and his predecessor in office, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, that he is Governor of the State, if he continued to foment trouble in the State, he has upped the ante by writing a letter to the Inspector-General of Police to have him arrested.
Obaseki’s deputy, Philip Shuaibu, told journalists he came to Abuja to submit the Governor’s letter to the IGP and head of the State Security Service (SSS).
His words: ”I am in Abuja to meet with the IG. I have a petition to the IG and the Director of DSS to the effect that Mr Oshiomhole be arrested by the police and DSS for the breakdown of law and order, that he has consistently perpetrated in Edo state.
“We banned rallies, the IG in a letter also suspended rallies. Oshiomhole disobeyed the orders of the state government. He disobeyed the orders of the IG and feels that he is above the law.
“For us, we have officially come now to drop our petition with the IG, to the effect that Oshiomhole is not above the law; he should be arrested for violating the state government’s order”.
