APC, police disagree over attack on Okpebholo, Shaibu in Edo

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo has accused the state police command of complicity in the attack on its governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and the reinstated deputy governor, Philip Shaibu.

Gunmen attacked the duo while leaving the Benin Airport shortly after they arrived from Abuja on Thursday.

A police inspector was killed while three other operatives were seriously wounded in the attack.
