The Edo State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised alarm over what it described as a suspicious movement of uniformed persons, especially from the Ojo Military Cantonment, Lagos, and other parts of the country into the state.
Chris Osa Nehikhare, State Publicity Secretary of the party, who spoke on behalf of the PDP Campaign Council on Saturday in Benin City, said, “We have just been alerted that 10 Hummer buses left Ojo Military Cantonment in Lagos for Auchi, Edo State, this morning.

“This is one out of over 10 such calls we have received in the last 48 hours.”
Nehikhare said: “We are liaising with the relevant security agencies to ascertain the mission(s) of these persons flocking to the state and we advise members of the public to watch out for persons whose presence and activities in their neighborhood, are suspicious and report same to the police and other law enforcement agencies.”
He urged the various security agencies in the country to pay more than the usual attention to these movements in order to ensure that Edo voters are insulated from harm before, during and after the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.”
