National Vice Chairman, South-South of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Dan Osi Orbih has condemned an attack by some youths on political leaders in Ipeshi in Akoko-Edo Local Goverment Area of Edo State.
One of the leaders attacked and dragged on the ground by the violent youths is an 80-year-old man, Pa Samuel Dania.
Orbih’s reaction was contained in a press statement he personally signed and circulated to the press.
Read the three-paragraph statement: “Painfully, my attention has been drawn to a social media video of a wicked and shameful attack by some politically patronised youths who unleashed unwarranted terror on unsuspecting party leaders and members in Ikpeshi, Akoko-Edo LGA, brandishing machetes and other dangerous weapons.
“I condemn this barbaric savagery in very strong terms, and I urge the security agents to thoroughly investigate the criminal act, fish out the perpetrators as well as those who might have remotely or closely aided their actions, and make them face the full consequences of their debasing actions. This will act as a deterrent for others who wish to take laws into their hands.
“Members of PDP in Akoko-Edo LGA should remain calm and go about their robust political engagements as no stone will be left unturned to apprehend the perpetrators and to face the full wrath of the law. I urge our Party members to continue to engage in peaceful and constructive political activities in line with our Party’s constitution.”
