*UNIBEN DID NOT AND WILL NOT SURRENDER TO CULTISTS* Let it be on record that under Prof. Edoba Bright Omoregie, SAN, the leadership of the University of Benin did not and will not surrender the campus to cult activity. The claim that UNIBEN has been surrendered to cultists is inaccurate.  Before the ungodly incident took place yesterday at the main gate, the management of the University of Benin had already put machinery in place to overhaul the university’s security architecture.  While we condemn the barbaric killing at the front of UNIBEN main gate, the exact cause is not yet fully ascertained. The position of the University of Benin management is clear: UNIBEN will not be safe for anyone intent on causing harm, given the interventions now in the pipeline for implementation. Let it be noted: _“If you don’t mean well for UNIBEN, the environment won’t accommodate you going forward.”_ Oya yasinmwin evbomwan! *Signed:*   Mr. Iyamu Osaro Culture – President...

*EDO GOVERNMENT CONDEMNS DAYLIGHT MURDER, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO STAMPING OUT CULTISM* Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, condemns in the strongest terms the murder of a youth at the main gate of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) by gunmen in broad daylight on Sunday. The brazen and cold-blooded killing on a day regarded as sacred by many is an affront to human dignity, a threat to public safety, and an attack on everything this administration stands for. It is completely unacceptable. Governor Okpebholo extends his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and associates of the deceased, whose life was violently and senselessly cut short. The Edo State Police Command has commenced investigations into the incident, while security agencies are working round the clock to identify and apprehend all those responsible. They may run, but they cannot hide forever. Governor Okpebholo assures the public and the family of the victim that the case will not be swept unde...

Concerned Edo APC Leaders Petition APC National Leadership Over Growing Crisis Of Imposition, Interference And Marginalization In Edo South

*Subject: On the Resignation of Hon. Esosa Iyawe and the Growing Crisis of Imposition, Interference, and Marginalisation in Edo APC*   We, the Concerned Edo South APC Stakeholders, receive with deep concern, profound disappointment, and growing alarm the resignation letter of Hon. Engr. Esosa Iyawe FNSE, Member representing Oredo Federal Constituency, from our great party, the All Progressives Congress. Hon. Iyawe’s resignation is not an isolated incident. It is not a one-off. It is part of a widening pattern, a recurring pattern, a dangerous pattern of disillusionment, alienation, and frustration among loyal APC members who built this party from the ground up, who sustained this party through years in opposition, and who delivered victory for this party in Edo State in 2024. Today, those same loyal members feel excluded. They feel sidelined. They feel pushed aside from the decision-making process of the APC in Edo State. *Our Observations:* 1. *Government Interfer...
