The All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo State Chapter laments the continued insecurity ravaging the state which has now put the populace at an unabated risk in the hands of criminals.
The APC said the crimanal situation is now a phenomenal to the extent that no day passed without the sad news of someone been kidnapped or killed.
The latest being the abduction of Godwin Aigbogun, the Party's Chairman, Ugu Ward, Orhionmwon Local Government Area of the State who was abducted by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen on Monday, 18 July, 2022 at Ologbo-nugu Community, on his way from the farm.
The Party speaking through its publicity secretary, Peter Enoserogbe Uwadiae Igbinigie Esq. on Wednesday, while lamenting the abduction of Aigbogun said "his abductors stormed out of the bush, forced his vehicle to stop at gunpoint and whisked him away to an unknown destination.
We had it on good account that the hoodlums contacted the family almost immediately, demanding N5 mllion ransom for his release.
This is one kidnap too many in a State the Governor Godwin Obaseki's led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration, receives a humongous monthly security vote of N750m.
Each time the news of a crime is broken, we hear the Government say: we are on top of the situation, yet nothing is happening to reassure the people.
"We have repeatedly and consistently called on Governor Obaseki to walk the talk as it is obvious; that his WABAIZIGHAN, Vigilante security architecture have made no meaningful impact.
This is because the N750m security vote monthly is not been spent on these outfits and others to help them deliver adequately on their mandate.
"The Governor's posturing is no doubt, tantamount to insensitivity of the highest order as the importance of life and property cannot be overemphasized.
The APC is saying unequivocally therefore, that "we cannot continue to live like we are in a jungle; let Obaseki be reminded that it is his responsibility to provide the needed security of life and property.
However, we are glad to inform, that by the mercy and grace of God, Aigbogun was able to successfully escape from his abductors. He arrived home Wednesday morning.
