The former Speaker of Edo House of Assembly, Kabiru Adjoto, has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to ensure thorough investigation into Friday’s shooting in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of the state.

Adjoto made the call on Monday at a news briefing in Benin, saying that proper investigation into the incident as well as the arrest and prosecution of the suspects would help to forestall future attacks on Peoples Democratic Party members and supporters.

He said: “On Friday, at Ekpe Ward 3 and Ososo community in Akoko-Edo, PDP members and supporters were attacked by gunmen.“What happened has further strengthened our resolve to vote for Gov. Godwin Obaseki because he has worked and Edo people want him to continue.
