Dr Patrick Osagie Eholor, a political observer and social media influencer otherwise known as Ultimate Equal, has called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to fish out the killers of a policeman at the Benin Airport.

The police inspector was killed shortly after the arrival of the reinstated deputy governor of the state, Philip Shaibu from Abuja.

Ultimate Equal accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state of being behind the killings of a police officer in the state.

In a viral video posted on X, Ultimate Equal called on the governor of the state to ensure that those responsible for the murder of the policeman be brought to book.

His words:

“Obaseki has nothing to do with this, and I am not here to defend him. 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, must work with the IGP and the commissioner of police to find the trigger-lover. We are not going to rest on this matter.” 

Addressing Shaibu, the reinstated deputy governor of the state, who recently defected back to the APC, the social media influencer said:

“How will you go back to join APC 24 hours after the killing of a police officer? APC that has ruined this country, where a bag of rice is more expensive than a salary. 

“Phillip Shaibu went to PDP from APC, and now going back again to your vomit. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.” 

Also a famous activist, Ultimate Equal led a one million-man protest to call the attention of the government to the death trap called the Lagos – Benin Express Way.
