Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, has called on the police, the Department for State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and other relevant security agencies in the country, to invite Benin billionaire, Captain Hosa Okunbo to unveil the identities of “his 3000 Niger Delta militants, who are ready to overrun Edo State on his prompting”.
According to the governor’s aide, “Okunbo, who is the sponsor of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 19 gubernatorial election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, threatened in a widely published newspaper interview he granted journalists in Abuja, that if his 3000 militants in the Niger Delta region get the nod from him, they would overrun Benin City.”
Osagie added that Okunbo’s subtle threat leaves a lot of gaps that need to be filled by security agencies. “He said he has 3000 youths he is partnering within the Niger Delta region,” Mr Crusoe stated
