Edo governor, who hailed the efforts of the security agencies, was quoted as stating that the action would serve as a deterrent to other criminals operating in the state.
Okpebholo declared that the activities of cultists, kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminals would not be tolerated under his watch.
Edo governor said: “Criminals terrorising Edo State will have no place to hide, as security operatives have been empowered to fish them out wherever they are. We have purchased 75 Toyota Hilux vans for the security of our people.
