The Edo State Government has called on the Federal government to set up an investigative panel to unravel the cause of the shooting that claimed the life of a police officer at the Benin Airport gate on Thursday.
DAILY POST reports that a Police Inspector attached to the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Monday Okpebholo, was shot dead during an attack by suspected political thugs.
The State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, made the call at a press briefing on Friday in Benin City.
Nehikhare said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Funsho Adegboye, was a witness to what happened at the Benin Airport.
According to him, Shaibu got judgment and flew into Benin with his friends and before entering Benin, he mobilised armed thugs to wait for him at the airport.
“And on arrival they unleashed mayhem on the innocent people of Edo State and in the process a Police officer was killed and many others were injured.
“The state Commissioner of Police had intelligence report and went to the airport to caution him not to allow his boys to assemble at the airport or anywhere in the state. He defied the advice.
