The Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, has reportedly sought the arrest and questioning of former Governor Adams Oshiomhole for allegedly inciting citizens of the state to destroy properties and cause mayhem.

This was disclosed on Wednesday, by the state’s commissioner for communication and orientation, Chris Nehikhare, who said the irate youths carried out the act under the guise of protesting the new naira scarcity.

Oshiomhole, who is contesting under the APC for the Edo north senatorial seat, is alleged to be driving some youths into a frenzy for personal purposes.

Nehikhare said:

“We have been around the city all day, speaking with some of the protesters and we have done our investigations. We discovered that it is more than meets the eye. At this juncture, we will like to call on security agencies to call Adams Oshiomhole for questioning. He should be arrested and made to account for his movement in the last few days especially here in Benin City.
Oshiomhole deliberately instigated the protest of the people.

I know people will think the protest is as a result of lack of naira notes but even if that is the case, Nigerians should know which political party is involved because it is ironic the political party that is responsible for this policy is the same party sending people to destroy PDP billboards.”
