Authorities have indicted Tony Adun, widely known as Tony Kabaka, the All Progressives Congress (APC) youth leader, along with nine other individuals, for their involvement in the recent violence that led to the tragic killing of a police inspector in Benin City, Edo State.
The indictment follows a thorough investigation and a public outcry for justice, amplified by social media influencers who released names and photos of the alleged perpetrators. The individuals indicted include:
Tony Adun (A.k.a Tony Kabaka) – APC youth leader
Aituayuwa Adun
Uba Emmanuel Ikheloa
Kelvin Osasere Ogiemwanye
Kassey Chukwu
Uba Emmanuel Ikheloa (A.k.a Amenu)
Kelly Okungbowa (A.k.a Ebo Stone)
Ebozele Emmanuel (A.k.a Biggy)
Emmanuel Egogo
Eric Imariagbe (A.k.a Baroko)
The violence erupted during a political rally, resulting in the death of the police inspector and injuries to several other individuals.
Dr Patrick Osagie Eholor, a political observer and social media influencer known as Ultimate Equal, was among the first to publicly accuse the APC in Edo State of being behind the incident.
In a viral video, he urged Governor Godwin Obaseki to take swift action against those responsible.
His words: “I want to appeal to Godwin Obaseki, as the number one citizen of Edo State, that this crime is a crime against humanity.
”You must wake up and ensure that the trigger-lover who shot the police officer is found. We are not going to rest on this matter.”
The indictment of Tony Kabaka and the others is seen as a significant step towards justice.
The Edo State Police Command has yet to officially comment on the indictment, which has since gone viral on most social media platforms.
