EDO GOVERNOR CALLS FOR ARREST OF NEO BLACK MOVEMENT PRESIDENT OVER ALLEGED FORGERY

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has called on the Inspector-General of Police and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to initiate the immediate arrest and prosecution of the President of the Neo Black Movement (NBM) of Africa, Olorogun Ese Kakor, over alleged forgery of official state government documents.

In the statement, Chief Press Secretary to the Edo State Governor, Fred Itua, said Governor Okpebholo accused Kakor of forging government documents, which falsely claimed to authorize him to provide assistance to schools in Edo South Senatorial District. The act, he said, was not only fraudulent but a direct assault on the integrity of the state’s administrative processes.

Itua said Governor Okpebholo described the act as criminal and deceitful, and noted that the alleged forgery was carried out in connivance with certain low-level civil servants within the state bureaucracy. Those civil servants implicated in the forgery have already been identified and taken into custody, and a police investigation is currently underway to determine their level of culpability.

Governor Okpebholo vowed that all those found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the law. He further insisted that the land title on which the NBM headquarters was erected in Edo State has been revoked, citing the organization’s alleged involvement in violent crimes and unlawful activities within the state.

The Governor urged both the Nigeria Police Force and the DSS to intensify their efforts in curbing the operations of groups allegedly involved in criminality and to ensure that those responsible for these acts are brought to justice. Itua added that Governor Okpebholo’s call for the arrest and prosecution of Kakor is a step towards maintaining law and order in the state. Fred Itua emphasized that Governor Okpebholo will not tolerate any form of criminality in the state.
