Edeoga in a press statement that he signed, accused the State Government and the PDP of distributing to hired party thugs, the arms, which were approved for procurement by the Federal Government for use to augment the efforts of the conventional security services in the state.
He called on the Federal Government to conduct an urgent audit of the guns approved for vigilante security services in the state to avert what he describes as a war on the people of the State, while also accusing the ruling party in the State of attempts to steal the Saturday, March 18, 2023 elections by violent means.
