Edo guber: Police arrest political thugs, recover firearms during overnight raids
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says operatives arrested two suspected political thugs and seized firearms from them during overnight raids in Edo — as the governorship election in the state gets under way.
In a statement on Saturday, Muyiwa Adejobi, force spokesperson, said the arrests and seizures were made following a tip-off.
“The Nigeria Police Force has made a significant breakthrough in its efforts to curb electoral violence in Edo State with the arrest of two political thugs, namely: Edwin Obanor, 43-year-old and Audu Tajudeen, a 41-year-old PDP member from Ugbogbo quarters, Igara Akoko, Edo,” the statement reads.
