..To be Arraign in Court on Wednesday
Edo state Police command has arrested three Ex- Militants
Leaders around Benin city with two AK47.
The three Ex- Militants Leaders are currentlydetained at state
criminal investigation department inside the state Police headquarters and they
will be Arraign in Court on Wednesday.
Leader of group, Gen. Peres Ejuni from Ofunama, decamped
to People's Democratic party last week Thursday at home ville hotel, Benin.
The Police, Department of state Security services and the
Edo state Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has earlier raised issues of
Security concern and importation of Militants into the state.
Speaking to journalists yesterday in Benin, the
Commissioner for Justice and Attorney general of Edo state, Barrister Henry
Idahagbon on the rumor that the Militants were arrested in his hotel on Friday, he
said the purpose of this fabrication is to obfuscate the arrest of one their
imported 'Generals' Gen. Peres Ejuni who was arrested with two Ak47 assault
Riffles and is currently with the police.
Idahagbon said all efforts to get the general released
from custody have proved abortive.
The state Attorney general said the police have remained
resolute and ready to arraign him before the court on Wednesday .
"My attention was drawn through innumerable calls to
a mischievous publication on the Facebook page of one Ogbeide Ifaluyi Isibor to
the effect that the DSS arrested 61 militants in my motel. Some days ago the
same fellow also caused to be published that I was buying PVCs within the
premises of the ministry of Justice.
"The PDP having failed woefully to persuade Edo
people to return to Egypt has resorted to spinning false stories and marketing
same online. We are daily been assailed by different fabricated stories. If the
deputy governor wasn't engaged in a shouting match with the governor, the
commissioner for information, Hon Kassim Afegbua will be endorsing one of their
two candidates.
"For the avoidance, the story is false and a figment
of the warped imagination of the writer, no amount of false propaganda against
my person or other members of the APC will stop the impending annihilation of
the party in Edo state and the reduction to tunnels of the over bloated
political ego of their candidate"
the state police command in Benin confirmed the arrest.
