Edo Lawmaker Exposes Police Role in Monarch’s Release
In a riveting revelation, Honorable Inegbeboh Ojie Eugene, the esteemed representative of Igueben Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly, has shed light on a harrowing incident that shook the Udo-Eguare community to its core. The traditional ruler of Udo-Eguare, His Royal Highness Friday Ehizojie, was viciously snatched from his motorcycle by a band of ruthless kidnappers on February 3. For three agonizing days, the community grappled with uncertainty and fear, until a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of a miraculous release.
Eugene, a beacon of truth and transparency, took the floor of the House of Assembly on a fateful Monday to disclose a startling detail that sent shockwaves through the hallowed chambers. He unveiled a chilling reality that shattered the illusion of safety and security—a reality where the protectors turned a blind eye, leaving the vulnerable at the mercy of malevolent forces.
The Ransom Saga Unveiled: A Community’s Desperation
In a poignant testimony that resonated with raw emotion, Eugene revealed that the beleaguered members of Udo-Eguare community resorted to a desperate measure to secure the release of their beloved monarch. With hearts heavy and spirits burdened, they pooled their resources to offer a ransom—an act of defiance against the darkness that threatened to engulf their revered leader.
The exact sum remained shrouded in secrecy, a silent testament to the sacrifices made by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. As Eugene’s words echoed through the chamber, a sense of collective empathy washed over the assembly, bridging the gap between lawmaker and constituent in a shared moment of solidarity.
A Call to Action: Holding the Guardians Accountable
In a bold and unflinching rebuke, Eugene called upon the enforcers of law and order—the police and the State Security Corps (ESSC)—to reckon with their failure. With a steely gaze and a voice laced with righteous indignation, he stripped away the veneer of false heroism that cloaked their actions, or lack thereof, in the face of adversity.
The conflicting narratives of the police and the ESSC unraveled under Eugene’s piercing scrutiny, revealing a disturbing truth obscured by the fog of obfuscation. The claims of a heroic rescue crumbled under the weight of his stark inquiry—how could a monarch be liberated without the capture of his captors? The gaping holes in the official narrative laid bare the unsettling reality of a system plagued by ineptitude and negligence.
As Eugene’s impassioned plea reverberated through the hallowed halls of power, the specter of accountability loomed large, casting a long shadow over those entrusted with the sacred duty of safeguarding the public trust. The lawmaker’s call for transparency and integrity struck a chord with all who bore witness, igniting a flicker of hope in a realm shrouded in darkness.
In a final act of defiance against the forces of chaos and discord, Eugene implored the Speaker to summon Mr. Friday Ibadin, the Commander of the Edo State Security Corps, to shed light on the path forward. His unwavering resolve and unwavering commitment to justice stood as a beacon of hope in a sea of uncertainty, inspiring all who heard his words to stand firm in the face of adversity.
As the echoes of Eugene’s impassioned speech faded into the recesses of memory, a palpable sense of determination lingered in the air. The road ahead remained fraught with challenges and obstacles, but in the unwavering spirit of unity and resilience, lies the promise of a brighter tomorrow—a tomorrow shaped by the unyielding pursuit of truth, justice, and peace.
