Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo State, has raised the alarm over alleged illegal arrest of members of the party by personnel of the Nigeria Police.
DAILY POST reports that Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, Director- General Asue/ Ogie Campaign Management Council, raised the alarm at a press conference on Sunday in Benin City. Iduoriyekemwen alleged that some members of the party have been arrested while others are on the wanted list. He listed some of the arrested chieftains of the party to include Mr Amos Tom and Kingsley Osahon, the Councillor representing Ward 10 in Esan North East Local Government Area.
'It is rather unfortunate that while the PDP is diligently working, moving from ward to ward and local government to local government actively campaigning across various platforms, articulating their programmes and initiatives for the people of Edo State, the opposition parties are attempting to weaponize the police against the people. 'The Police officers must remember that they are funded by tax payer’s money and must not allow themselves to be used against the people,' he said.
