Police Arrest Political Thugs, Recover Arms In Overnight Raids Few Hours To Edo Guber Polls [PHOTOS]






Just a few hours before the commencement of the Edo State governorship off-cycle election, the Nigeria Police Force has arrested two political thugs in the state.


Force Spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a terse post on his X handle on Saturday morning, said the arrest was the police’s efforts to curb electoral violence in the state.


According to ACP Adejobi, the duo was arrested in an overnight raid.


He gave the names of the two as Edwin Obanor, 43-year-old  and Audu Tajudeen, a 41-year-old PDP member from Ugbogbo quarters, Igara Akoko, Edo.


The arrest comes hours after the PDP posted a video showing the arrest of some thugs with guns by security operatives in Edo State.


The PDP said the thugs were sent and sponsored by the All Progressives Congress, APC.


The governorship election is between three major candidates – Asue Ighodalo of the PDP, Monday Okpebholo of the APC, and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP).
