Edo State APC Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, is urging the Nigerian Police and other security agencies, including the State Security Service (DSS), to investigate and arrest leaders of the People’s Democratic Party and some of their supporters who he alleged are behind a string of recent kidnappings in the state.
Tenebe is pointing fingers to those linked to gruesome murder a Police Inspector Unuh Akor during the governorship campaign in the state.
According to Tenebe, since leaving office, “PDP leaders have resorted to kidnapping as a means to make money, using arms bought for them by the past state government to make the state ungovernable.”
Tenebe’s allegation comes amidst heightened political tensions in Edo State following the governorship election petition tribunal that has been relocated to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The PDP has denied involvement in the the murder of Inspector Akor in the past, but none of their agents has reacted to the latest APC state chairman’s allegations of kidnapping.
It’s worth noting that Tenebe has been a vocal critic of the PDP, and his accusations have sparked a heated response from the opposition party.
Especially after the APC chairman successfully took over the party’s secretariat that was hitherto occupied by the PDP.
In the past, Tenebe has accused the PDP governorship candidate of allegedly forging his voter’s card and went ahead to demand for his prosecution.
