Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has asked the Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Adamu, and the Director-General, Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, to arrest the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, for holding political rallies in the state in spite of the ban placed on such activities by his Administration.
Obaseki, who spoke through his deputy, Comrade Philip Shuaibu, on Monday in Abuja, said a petition to that effect would be submitted to the relevant authorities later in the day.
Oshiomhole, the immediate past governor of Edo State has been having a running battle with his protege and successor, Obaseki, over who controls the levers of power in the state.
