Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have reportedly arrested the state Deputy Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Jarret Tenebe.
It was alleged that the politician was arrested on the orders of the deputy governor of Edo State, Hon Philip Shaibu. Naija News reports the development is happening less than 48 hours before the Edo State House of Assembly election.
According to Tribune, Tenebe was arrested in his Ikabigbo home town, Etsako West local government area, for some reasons yet to be made public.
It was learnt that the Edo APC Vice Chairman, a popular mobilizer for the APC and strong loyalist of the former state governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, had allegedly, in a recent video, accused the deputy governor of sundry issues.
In a Tuesday press conference in Benin City, the APC alleged that the state government planned to rig Saturday’s election, using thugs in various disguises.
