The chairman of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area, Hon. Tajudeen Alade, who was purportedly impeached on last Monday, has dismissed the impeachment as illegitimate and raised alarms over the looting of his office by suspected thugs.
Alade revealed that he has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG Zone 5), the Edo State Commissioner of Police, and the State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the incident.
In his petition, Alade alleged that a group of individuals, alongside unknown accomplices, invaded the council secretariat in an attempt to forcefully take over his office. “What transpired in the council was a sham,” Alade said, adding that none of those mentioned in his complaint have been invited for questioning so far.
