Governor Godwin Obaseki has asked security agents to arrest and question Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over the naira scarcity protest which lead to the deaths of some persons in the state.
The governor who spoke through the Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, while addressing journalists in Benin, said from investigations, the protest was politically motivated.
He said the call for Oshiomhole’s arrest and questioning became necessary following a viral video where the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) instigated the people to go on a rampage
He alleged that Oshiomhole instigated the violence to destroy government properties in such a way as “to bring anarchy to our city because his government is about to lose the forthcoming general elections”, saying the states in which the riot took place were PDP-controlled states.
