New Naira Notes Scarcity: Gov. Obaseki orders arrest of Oshiomhole for allegedly instigating viol£nt protest

Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, has ordered security operatives in the state to arrest his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole, for ‘deliberately instigating the protest’ that rocked Benin City, the state’s capital on Wednesday, February 15.

Recall that at least two persons were sh@t d£ad during the protest over the scarcity of new Naira notes.

Speaking through the Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, Obaseki 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 rampage.

“We have been around the city all day, speaking with some of the protesters and we have done our investigations. We discovered that it is more than meets the eye.

At this juncture, we will like to call on security agencies to call Adams Oshiomhole for questioning. He should be arrested and made to account for his movement in the last few days especially here in Benin City. Oshiomhole deliberately instigated the protest of the people,” he said.
