Comm. Ibadin identified 17 of the 18 arrested suspects as non-indigenes, with one suspect hailing from Agbede community. He reassured the citizens of Edo State of the government’s commitment to providing a safe and secure environment, particularly during the farming season. He emphasized that the ESSC will continue to intensify efforts to rid Edo State of criminal elements.
“Today, 14th February 2025, while on patrol along Benin – Auchi Road by Eguedion Camp, close to the Soldiers checkpoint, two persons were sighted holding guns. On sighting my men, they took to their heels. They were chased to a camp where 18 persons were arrested,” Comm. Ibadin stated.
The operation led to the arrest of 18 individuals, 17 of whom are non-indigenes, while one is from Agbede community. A total of 38 fully loaded locally made guns and charms were recovered in the process. Comm. Ibadin assured that the ESSC will continue bush combing operations and community sensitization to ensure that the forests are free of criminals, making Edo State safe and secure for all residents.
While handing over the suspects to the DPO of Agbede Police Station, Comm. Ibadin called for closer collaboration between the ESSC and other security agencies in the state. He stressed that a cooperative effort is essential to completely eliminate criminal elements from the state.
This recent arrest by the ESSC follows a directive from Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, who issued a marching order to security agencies to flush out criminals and ensure the safety of Edo forests and bushes for farmers and the general public.
