By DADA AYOKHAI

The Edo State Police Command have paraded a notable Oshiomhole's political associates   from jattu, Peter John aka Atarodo and seven others which include two females over attempt  to break into a hall at the Edo State deputy governor's residence in jattu  allegedly in  search of palliatives.

Earlier in the week, the Edo State deputy governor, Comrade  Philip Shaibu had through  his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr Benjamin Atu, accused the opposition party of allegedly sponsoring hoodlums and political thugs to invade and destroy property belonging to him  under the disguise of palliative search.

According to the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Johnson kokumo,  while addressing a press conference in Benin City, the Edo State capital said "On the 26/10/2020, while the situation was subsiding, some unscrupulous elements in Jattu, Edo State were hobnobbing on how to break into the Town Hall. 

"They were however arrested by some vigilantes and policemen of Jattu Police Division before any damage could be done". 

The paraded suspects are 
1. Kingsley Adoko, Esther Julius, 
Adams Shaka, Audu Mustafa,  Divine Mackson, Michael Aigbedion  Franca Samuel and Peter John (alias Atorodo).

Similary, the deputy governor had also claimed in the statement that, "The fact that we want to establish is that at least it has been confirmed that no palliatives is in the house of the deputy governor.

"All palliatives that were sent to Edo North were disbursed directly to the local government for instant distribution to the beneficiaries.

 "Edo North does not have a central reserve where palliatives were kept. 

"The State has only one center and that's not in Edo North". 

Some APC members who chose to remain anonymous said the police should further explain what hobnobing is. As far as they are concerned, it is part of Philip Shaibu's political vendetta.
