Aftermath of the Benin Airport attack on the Convoy of Senator Monday Okpebholo on July 18, an inspector attached to the Senator lost his life and other Apc party faithful’s are battling for survival in some undisclosed hospital.
People are surprised that Obaseki led Government wants to change the narrative by accusing some law abiding citizens of being behind the mayhem. One of the top comedian in Edo state Daniel Eromosele a.k.a Pikolo was accused by the State Government as one of the people involved in the violence.
Pikolo is not known to be a political thug, but rather a social media influencer who has a lot of followers in the state.
In a recent interview with the press pikolo said “I’m compelled to address a baseless and ridiculous accusation circulating on social media, claiming that I, alongside others, have been petitioned by the Edo State Government for allegedly attacking our own gubernatorial candidate’s convoy. Despite not receiving any official invitation from the authorities, I’m responding to protect my hard-earned reputation as a man of integrity.
For the record, I was not present at the airport on the day of the alleged incident. I was nowhere near the airport environment and was not seen around there. I’m a comedian, content creator, and politician who has never engaged in thuggery or any form of violence.
My recent videos have focused on promoting our candidate and highlighting the failures of the PDP and its leadership in the state. If my content has caused discomfort, I challenge those affected to counter my claims with facts and evidence, rather than resorting to spreading falsehoods.
It’s laughable that the government would stoop so low as to make unfounded allegations.
If my name can be included in such a petition, despite my clear absence from the scene, it’s clear that the document holds no merit.
I have contacted My Lawyers and they will do the needful in this matter , as the antics of the Solicitor General of Edo State,Prof Faith Osadolor, a supposed Professor of Law penning false allegations against my person and spreading it on the internet smacks of false information, false allegation, cyber bullying and cyber stalking.
Edo State Government should be reminded that the Law is for both the Governed and the Government.I demand an immediate retraction and apologies from the Edo State Government,else they will hear from my lawyers in the coming days .It was Martin Luther King that said *Injustice any where is a threat to justice everywhere*
To my followers, I urge you to remain vigilant and discerning in the face of misinformation. Keep faith, and I’ll continue to provide you with accurate updates and quality content.”
I remain committed to ensuring that most distinguished senator Monday Okpebholo and his deputy Rt hon Denis Idahosa win the September 21 election without distraction.
According to reliable sources APC has petitioned the perpetrators of the tragic attack to the inspector General of police and the fingered suspects have gone into hiding, thereby frustrating the police in doing investigation.
Meanwhile Edo State Government has petitioned the Inspector General Police over the Thursday, July 18, 2024 breakdown of law and order in the State which was orchestrated by the former Deputy Governor of the State, Philip Shaibu under the pretext of executing a judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja for which a stay of execution had been filed and an appealed entered.
In the petition signed by the State Solicitor General, Prof. Faith Osadolor on behalf of the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, the State Government said Shaibu, contrary to the rule of law, recruited a throng of heavily armed thugs, including Tony Adun (Aka Tony Kabaka), Daniel Eromosele (Aka Pikolo), Efe Stewart, Joseph Okonigene, Noah Amiolemen Idemudia, among others, resorting to self-help, leading to the wanton destruction within the Benin metropolis and death of a Police officer.
Why is Obaseki witch hunting Daniel Eromosele a.k.a Pikolo?
is it because he is making videos and campaigning for his principal.
He wasn’t even there at the crime scene.
