Thugs Invade Council In Edo

Suspected political thugs on Wednesday invaded Oredo Local Government Council secretariat in Benin City, Edo State capital.

 

Daily Independent reports that, the thugs stormed the secretariat and stopped the councillors from impeaching the council chairman, Osaro Obaze.

 

It was gathered that the councillors had on Thursday impeached the leader of the legislative arm, Monday Oboigba, his deputy, Esohe Usiobaifo, and elected Nohayi Obaseki as the new leader.

 

The councillors, however, denied the allegation that they were planning to impeach the council boss. They said majority of the councillors, precisely eight out of twelve, passed a vote of no confidence on the former leader because of his high handedness and dictatorial tendencies in running the affairs of the legislative arm.
