Enunuedo, a Bini socio-cultural organization, led by two time governor of old Bendel State, Dr Samuel Ogbemudia, has called on law enforcement agents to arrest all those involved in the destruction of properties during the protest against the removal of fuel subsidy in
Benin-City on Monday and Tuesday.
In a communiqué after a meeting of the Provisional Trustees which comprise of the first civilian governor of Edo State, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and the Iyase of Benin Kingdom,
Chief Sam Igbe, the group said it had investigated the incident and found out that no Edo indigene was involved.
“We therefore wish to make it clear that the people of Edo State will not tolerate a situation where some people will hide under any guise and for that matter fuel subsidy removal to murder innocent people,”the communique stated.
“Enunuedo wish to warn that people should not abudse our spirit of accommodation and willingness to live peacefully with other Nigerians. Our records show that the people of Edo state have always been great friends of Non Benins, economically, politically and socially.
“ We hereby call on the law enforcement agencies to arrest those involved in the destruction of lives and properties and advise that all residents should go about their duties without fear of molestation. Benins are hereby called upon to protect all non-indigenes in their midst”.
