Orhionmwon People Protest Against the Silence of Obaseki over the arrest of their son, Hon. Osemwengie Ero, the Honourable Commissioner for Art, Culture and Tourism by the Interpol in France.
The indigenes of Orhionmwon Local Government area have appealed to the Executive Governor of Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki to use his office to ensure their son, Hon. Osazee Osemwengie Ero is released from from Interpol detention.
The People alleged that for some weeks now, their son have been arrested in France for the offence of Money laundering. They said he was arrested with the sum of $2,000,000 which was directly given to him by the Governor to keep for some investment purposes when he went with the Governor to France recently, rather than the Governor to use his office to ensure he is released, the Governor came to Benin and has done nothing but left their son with the Interpol.
The People said the most painful aspect of it is that the Governor is busy lying against the Commissioner and not telling the world the main reason he was arrested. The Governor is busy saying that the Commissioner was arrested not because of the money that was found with him but because of the offence he committed some years ago while in Italy. This action of the Governor according to them is to avoid wrath of the People who may feel angry over how Edo money is being looted abroad through the aide of his Commissioner.
They further claimed that the Commissioner of Art, Culture and Tourism has no criminal record or declared wanted before and they are surprised that the Governor is diverting attention from the reason he was arrested.
They call on well meaning Edo people to prevail on the Governor to secure the release of their son as it is unfair for him to treat his best Commisioner in this wicked and heartless manner. They said they will have no other option than to take their protest to the street if Hon. Osemwengie Ero is not released before the end of this year.
