The Edo State government has accused former deputy governor Philip Shaibu of orchestrating an attack on the convoy of APC Edo State governorship candidate Okpebholo. The assault, which occurred on Thursday while Okpebholo was returning from the airport with Shaibu, resulted in the death of a police officer.

Government’s Condemnation

On Friday, Chris Nehikhare, the Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, condemned the attack and pointed the finger at Shaibu. The conflict between the state government and Shaibu has been ongoing, culminating in his impeachment. Although Shaibu has been reinstated, the state government continues to contest the appellate court’s verdict.

Accusations Against Shaibu

Nehikhare accused Shaibu of organizing the thugs involved in the attack, emphasizing that the government considers him still impeached due to their ongoing legal challenge.

“With disappointment by this development, Shaibu disregarded the advice and warnings from the Commissioner of Police and exited the airport precincts into the waiting crowd of thugs who then moved with him into the city, shooting sporadically and unleashing mayhem on innocent citizens, who were minding their lawful businesses,” the statement read.

Legal Battle Continues

Following a Federal High Court judgment in Abuja on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, which faulted Shaibu’s impeachment, the Edo State government promptly filed a notice of appeal and stay of execution. Nehikhare noted that this legal action has been communicated to relevant authorities, including the police, in accordance with the law.

Why It Matters

This incident highlights the deepening political tensions in Edo State, reflecting broader challenges of governance and security. The attack on Okpebholo’s convoy, coupled with the ongoing legal battle over Shaibu’s impeachment, underscores the volatility in the region. It raises concerns about the safety of political figures and the potential for further violence, impacting public trust in the state’s ability to maintain order and justice.
