“While the Ward 10 Youth have mobilised to oppose any attempt to molest the performing chairman of the Local Government Council, we hereby request that the Inspector General of Police immediately call his men to order to prevent a breakdown in law and order,” a release on Saturday, September 21, by Benjamin Atu, chief press secretary, Etsako East local Government Council, said.
The release said “Nigerian police were deployed to Edo State to ensure a peaceful election and to protect lives and not to destroy them.
“The NIgerian Police are currently compromising their position by besieging the home of PDP leaders while APC leaders are moving freely.
“The Chairman of the Etsako East Council did not request security personnel because her community members had already built a defensive wall around her.
“This public notice is to notify the Police Force that if there is a breakdown of law and order in the Okpekpe community, the police will be held accountable because the youths are brace up for unprovoked arrest.”
